You can not rewrite CONNECT requests in the same manner as normal
requests. A CONNECT request is a request to establish a tunnel via the
proxy, not a request for a given object.

At best you can rewrite CONNECT requests to another SSL server:port, but
in most cases this will make the client quite upset as the certificate
won't match the requested host.

You should be looking into using Squid access controls, returning a
HTTP error page with the block message.
