SSL is always encrypted both ways. SSL creates an encrypted tunnel over
TCP where traffic in both directions is encrypted.

The SSL update however also includes allowing Squid to act as a SSL
client when retreiving content if this is what you ask for (client-squid
and squid-server), with certificate support allowing Squid to present a
certificate to the server if needed.
