Thanks Amos,

what I wanted to know is if it is possible to force this behavior so
that the web browser requests a specified web page and squid redirects
this request to another server using a SSL connection.

                                    Original
                                  destination
                                  (x.x.x.x:P)


 Web
 Browser ----> Squid =====>   Squid-modified
        http        https       destination
      request         to        (y.y.y.y:Q)
        for       y.y.y.y:Q
     x.x.x.x:P

Thanks.
