/Dumb question.

So essentially this means that whatever's being transferred from the
client (via HTTPS), once it reaches the squid box, it will be sent
un-encrypted to the server?

can you verify is this is true.

client --> Banking App (https) -->SquidBox --> BANK-Server (https)

Between squidbox and bank-server, is the communication encrypted?
(CONNECT?)

I believe all these are the requirements, if one were to run squid as a
surrograte proxy (in front) of a web-server (???)
