I have a lone computer that must communicate via secure sockets to a web server. Communication starts with our machine on port 80, and the server responds on port 80. Then it goes to SSL and attempts to negotiate communication on port 6847. Eventually, though, the server times out because my end (apparently) doesn't allow the connection.
However, a machine outside of the proxy server (live on the 'net) connects with no problem. I'm running Squid 2.5 STABLE, and here is a snippet of my squid.conf. Please let me know if I have something stupidly wrong; I'm open to lots of criticism. acl SSL_ports port 443 563 6847 #6847 is for Unity service acl Safe_ports port 80 Acl Safe_ports port 6847 acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager # Deny requests to unknown ports http_access deny !Safe_ports # Deny CONNECT to other than SSL ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost http_access allow all http_access deny all Eric egeater at mscoinc dot com
