But if you use the squid in normal cache mode it works. Maybe it is as I
mentioned and this little accel-thing just does a URL rewrite and the
main part is the same as in caching mode? Then it should be possible to
handle the SSL stuff ... n.b., if I can not get an SSL accel or some
other stuff I will simply use squid as a cache 'cause this works with
SSL.
