RE: http_accel a https exchange webmail service

Grant,

For another reason I wished to do something similar.
There are some patches from Benno Rice of Aus that patch 2.4Dev2 (and also I
believe for 2.3Stable3 although I haven't personally seen the later.) Built
for me with some mods on Solaris 7 open-ssl 0.95a and GCC 2.95.
Direct link to his work.
http://netizen.com.au/~benno/squid-ssl-patch.tar.gz

Works fine as a an accelerated https->http gateway for me.
Apparently Benno is trying to get them as part of standard distrib.
If you, me etc. can show that this is a generally liked feature may be more
likely to get them put in.

Cheers,
Martyn Roberts
