No, and not even if you are doing authentication. > If so, what feature(s) of Squid require the SSL services? When you want Squid to provide SSL server services using the https_port directive in squid.conf. Mainly of interest to people using Squid as an accelerator for a site which should be reached via SSL (https://) If you only use Squid as a normal proxy then there is little or no use of --enable-ssl.
