Dear All,
I would like to redirect http://gmail.com to https://gmail.com
because http://gmail.com was banned by our ISP
But they allow https://gmail.com
User only know http://gmail.com but when they visit, it was banned.
Almost the time, I have to go to user and say to use https://gmail.com ..

Any suggestions is appirciated


Two approaches:

1) automatic teaching clue-by-4 stick for your users:

acl badGmail dstdomain gmail.com
acl HTTP proto HTTP
deny_info http://yourhostname/gmail_is_broken.html badGmail
http_access deny HTTP badGmail


2) leave the peons ignorant and MAKE it work:

acl badGmail dstdomain gmail.com
acl HTTP proto HTTP

cache_peer gmail.com 443 0 no-query originserver

Sorry I forgot to add there may be ssl* options needed for SSL traffic 
between squid and the gmail HTTPS server.

cache_peer_access gmail.com allow badGmail
cache_peer_access gmail.com deny !badGmail
never_direct deny HTTP badGmail
