If you can manage to convince some browser to use SSL for the proxy
connection then Squid-2.5 will happily do the above.

But as far as I know there is not a single browser who thinks using
SSL for the proxy connection is a function someone might want to
use..

This leaves the Squid SSL functionality mostly useful for
accelerators, until some browsers get the picture and understand that
browser<->proxy is also a area where SSL is needed for security.
