[squid-users] redirect from http to https

[Andrew]

I have squid set up in accelerator mode in front of my web server. I 
would like to ensure that users access some of the content on the web 
server using https. I tried the example in the squid FAQ just to see if 
it would work but it didn't. With the redirection script in place, my 
browser spins until a message comes up saying that the maximum 
redirection limit was reached. This happens whenever I try to access a 
page that matches the pattern in my redirection script. Here is the 
script I used:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$|=1;
    while (<>){
        @X = split;
        $url = $X[0];
        if ($url =~ /^http:\/\/my\.domain\.dom\/securecontent/){
            $url =~ s/^http/https/;
            print "302:$url\n";
        } else {
            print "$url\n";
        }
}
With the redirector program in place, I can still access other content 
on the web server without problems.

If I don't use the redirector program (the 'redirect_program' parameter 
is not set in squid.conf) I can access the secure content fine with 
either http or https which I think indicates that I've set up my 
certificate and other squid parameters correctly.

I hope someone can shed some light on my dilema.
