[squid-users] squid proxy configuration to convert HTTP to HTTPS

Hi,

I have a requirement in which I would like to convert a HTTP request
(going via squid proxy) to be converted into HTTPS - thus squid proxy
can handle the ssl handshake and any mutual certificate validations.

To elaborate:
  - I have a application which tries to contact an external website (abcdef.com)
  - The request goes via squid proxy (port 3128)
  - If I can have a configuration is squid proxy which checks for
external hostname (abcdef) and to such requests, it converts the
requests into an HTTPS call.
  - Now the external website abcdef.com's ssl handshake is handled by
squid proxy, which also decrypts the response & the decrypted response
is given back to my application.

Is this possible in squid proxy?

Thanks,
deepak
