My team expects to transparently rewrite requests through squid, replacing original URL/hostname by another target URL/host.

Main objective is to redirect original HTTPS requests triggered by “docker pull alpine” to a local mirrored registry without obvious information in user client that the obtained image comes from mirror: original image location is preserved, no specific proxy or mirror configuration in docker client/daemon to set.

To do so, we have used squid-urlrewrite and it works well for HTTP request, even if rewrite targets HTTPS URL.

But when original request is HTTPS, connection still goes to original URL/hostname IP address https://github.com/rchunping/squid-urlrewrite/issues/3 According to debug logs, the original request hostname is resolved to IP early and kept in internal context after squid-urlrewrite is invoked.

In most cases, when bumping connections from a TLS client to Squid and from Squid to TLS server, Squid "pins" (i.e. remembers) the Squid-to-server connection and then (re)uses that pinned connection for all requests received on the client-to-Squid connection.

I have not checked, but speculate that rewriting request target does not trigger opening a new Squid-to-server TLS connection and re-pinning.

IIRC, a Squid that is configured to bump during SslBump step1 does not pin. Such a configuration is rarely usable on a modern internet, but YMMV.


HTH,
