Squid supports it. The https_port directive can be configured just like
http_port but with SSL certificates etc.

The blocker problem is that client browsers do not support it.

Authentication? no.

Authorization? maybe. There are some ACL types that can authorize or
deny based on client certificate fields.

Of course you can still do full normal proxy authentication inside the
SSL encrypted requests.
