Yes

because a HTTPS proxy is just a tcp plug really it's picked up a https
setting say from netscape browser config or ie config and it's trying to
use it not knowing that by default squid.conf file has all ports blocked
for connect method except 443 (which is normal ssl)

A) you can just add it to your safe ports list for ssl
B) as you have a private ip address there you might just want to use ip
masquerading /nat etc......

oh yes it could even be msn messanger
anything which uses TCP can work thru the connect method! that's why it's
restricted because anybody can do telnet/ftp/pop/smtp any other tcp based
protocol through it
