Hi,

can I have an incoming connection on the port 80 and forward it to the
destination on another port within a ssl connection?

I try to explain with a diagram:

Web
Browser ----> Squid =====> Destination
        http        https
        port        port
         80          443

Many thanks.

Yes. It happens on two occasions:
 - ssl options set on the cache_peer config.
 - client requests a URI from cache as https://...

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.

                                  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.


If its for a small set of pre-known domain or URI, its easy.

Thats exactly how the cache_peer way works. The alternate to that under the same conditions a custom redirector can change the URI to pretty much anything before squid opens its outbound link.
