I have done some more research. Here are the outputs:

- in cache.log:

ERR_CONNECT_FAIL: banking.hypo.de:443

- in the sock-Server logfile:

Aug 7 19:22:30 curry Socks5[26428]: TCP Connection Request: Connect (curry.top.tld:2910 to banking.hypo.de:https) for user cache
Aug 7 19:22:30 curry Socks5[26428]: TCP Connection Established: Connect (curry.top.tld:2910 to banking.hypo.de:https) for user cache
Aug 7 19:22:30 curry Socks5[26428]: TCP Connection Terminated: Abnormal (curry.top.tld:2910 to banking.hypo.de:https) for user cache: 0 bytes out, 0 bytes in

- and the output of the socksified squid itself when running with SOCKS5_DEBUG:

26440: Check: Checking username, cache is in -
26440: Config file line #16 matched
26440: lsLibProtoExchg: Checking proxy cache for (192.168.1.10:1080)

26440: lsTcpConnect: Protocol exchanged

26440: lsTcpConnect: connection in progress - no data

The reason why I want to socksify squid is: I am behind a firewall and have no
direct contact to the outside world. However, on the firewall is running a
netscrape cache :-( and a socks server. Since https connections are done directly
by squid (which is not possible due to the firewall), I have to configure the browser
to connect to the socks server for https and to connect my squid for the rest. This
in fact results in that I have to enable each client in the socks5.conf file :-(.

I thought, by socksifying squid, I could let him make the https connections through
socks but had no luck.

Where can I start? Any pointers are welcome.

Thanks a lot
