No, the SSL encryption is end-to-end, so Squid has no means of even
knowing there is https traffic over that connection. To Squid is is all
just "some kind of unknown data being transferred, looking like
'garbage'".

All Squid knows is that the browser have requested to make a full duplex
TCP tunnel to enable SSL to host X on port Y.
