[squid-users] WL-Proxy-SSL - telling weblogic about proxied ssl

Hi people

I'm trying to set up squid as an http and ssl accelerator for WebCT
Vista, which is an application running on BEA WebLogic.

I want all connections between squid and weblogic to be plain text,
on port 80. User connections will be a combination of SSL (https port
443) and plain http.

Aparently, if I can get squid to add the following header to HTTPS
requests, then things will be good:

WL-Proxy-SSL: true

My hope is that this will allow Weblogic to generate https urls when
a user is using https, and http when they're using http. This is a
non-trivial excercise when you're using squid as an accelerator, so
you need some extra header to pass this info on to the backend
appserver.

How would I go about achieving this? Is it possible?

Note that I've already written a perl redirector script but AFAIK
there's no way to add extra headers with the redirector interface?

Thank you

Jesse
