Proxying involves two connections. One between the Client<->Proxy, and
one between the Proxy<->Server. In HTTP there is only a loose
relationship between the two.

So yes, you can have HTTP over TLS/SSL (port 443) on one side and plain
HTTP (port 80) on the other. In any combination.

In Squid you configure the type of linkage squid<->server using
cache_peer directive, and the linkage client<->squid as HTTPS using
https_port directive (note the 's' on that name matches https:// URI).
   You can find some reverse-proxy configuration examples at
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples and documentation of the port
options at http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/http_port/
