Squid will not do what you want.
HTTPS was created and designed explicitly to prevent traffic interception
security attacks (aka transparent mode proxies).
CONNECT method is an HTTP plain wrapper only used when the browser knows
it is talking to a proxy.
When doing interception of HTTPS traffic all Squid sees is random
encrypted binary numbers.
