MS-Proxy is able to receive a SSL connection, decrypt it by itself, and
reverse proxy it to a Web server.

MS-proxy uses the IIS a bility to do SSL.

Now, the question is : What is the solution to get this working on a
Linux environment :

web client ----HTTPS----> reverse proxy ------HTTP-----> Web server

This is the only way I know of to to content filtering on a SSL link.

That could also be used for :

web server <----HTTPS 1--- ssl/clear content-filtering (Anti Virus)
clear/ssl <---HTTPS 2-----

HTTPS 1 and HTTPS 2 _DO_NOT_ share the same key.

Does anyone have a clue on how such kind of a solution can be built on
Linux, using Squid, Apache, or any other GPL tool ?
