[squid-users] Squid reverse proxy problem (HTTPS to HTTP)

Hi list,

I'm trying to set up a squid reverse proxy for an Outlook Web Access
webmail server. I want the connection to squid to be encrypted with SSL,
but the connection to the web server to be simple HTTP, ie:

client_browser <---HTTPS---> squid <---HTTP---> outlook_web_access

Below is the config that I currently have on squid:

---------------------------------------
https_port 1.2.3.4:443 cert=/etc/shv-ssl/CertAuth/testcert.cert
key=/etc/shv-ssl/CertAuth/testkey.pem
cache_peer 10.0.0.1 parent 80 0 no-query originserver login=PASS
front-end-https=on name=OWA

acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
acl manager proto cache_object
acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8
acl SSL_ports port 443
acl CONNECT method CONNECT

# Deny requests to unknown ports
http_access deny !SSL_ports
# Deny CONNECT to other than SSL ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

visible_hostname reverse-proxy.example.com

cache_access_log /var/log/squid/reverse-access.log
cache_log /var/log/squid/reverse-cache.log
cache_store_log /var/log/squid/reverse-store.log
---------------------------------------

I was getting errors telling me that the access was denied due to ACL
rules, but now I'm getting:

---------------------------------------
The following error was encountered:

    * Invalid Request

Some aspect of the HTTP Request is invalid. Possible problems:

    * Missing or unknown request method
    * Missing URL
    * Missing HTTP Identifier (HTTP/1.0)
    * Request is too large
    * Content-Length missing for POST or PUT requests
    * Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed
---------------------------------------

The squid access log has the following entry:
---------------------------------------
1222780606.494 46 83.67.67.3 TCP_DENIED/400 1586 GET
error:invalid-request - NONE/- text/html
---------------------------------------

Can anyone give me any idea of where I'm going wrong?

Russ
