"The socket address where Squid will listen for HTTPS client requests.

This is really only useful for situations where you are running
squid in accelerator mode and you want to do the SSL work at the
accelerator level."

Does your browser use HTTPS to communicate with squid? no then this option
is not for you.

HTTPS requests are normally sent inside CONNECT requests. These are
permitted by the default config. See
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/http_access/

Oh yes, nearly forgot, just in case...
