Then your best action would be to upgrade the LWP library to one
supporting SSL.
But on the other hand Squid-3, or the SSL update to Squid-2.5
<http://devel.squid-cache.org/> does support https proxying where HTTP
clients can sent https:// URLs to Squid and Squid opens the SSL connection
to the requested server.

Quite unlikely. The problems with most JAVA applications is that they
assume there is no proxy and make direct TCP connections to their "home
server".
Other problems is that some JRE versions does not support proxy
authentication, or have strange bugs in their HTTP implementations..

Not related.
