Squid 3 reverse proxy - HTTPS==>HTTP fails
0%
Description
I configured the package Squid 3 (version 0.4.37 based on Squid-3.5.26) as reverse proxy.
On my pfSense virtual machine (v2.3.4-release-p1), the squid reverse proxy is configured to listen on https port and my web server on http.
The reverse proxy is unable to redirect https flow to http web server.
same bug detailed here : https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=58905.0

Using an HTTP backend with an HTTPS frontend works fine in HAProxy if you need it to work right now. The reverse squid feature does not currently have a maintainer, and is not used much, so if this does turn out to be a bug it may be a while before it is fixed.
That thread you linked is very, very old. You should start a new thread detailing your problem to see if anyone has any more up-to-date suggestions.

thank you for your quick answer, I will try HAproxy :)

The way the reverse proxy part of the Squid package is written, it will only redirect HTTPS to HTTPS and HTTP to HTTP [1]. Changing this would require pretty much complete redesign. HAproxy is a much better and more flexible option here.
