You are using Squid-2.5 I suppose.. it's idea of https reverse proxied
content is a little wierd (internally looks like http)

Instead of using a redirector plain access controls in squid.conf can do
the job much easier

acl port80 port 80
http_access deny port80
deny_info https://www.your.site/ port80

you can also use the same in redirector_access to control what is sent to
the redirector.

alternatively you can use "httpd_accel_port 0" and have the redirector
look for the port number to determine if this request was received on the
http_port or on the https_port.
