Squid SSL Encryption

Hi guys,

I want to configure squid server with SSL so that users send clear text username/password and also data in encrypted mode. i googled but all of the configuration is for reverse proxy not requests from users to proxy server in LAN for example.

Is there any solution?

Doesn't work that way. You can't arbitrarily substitute https for http, they're not direct equivalents. https doesn't support virtual hostnaming for example -- meaning http://sitename.com/ isn't necessarily the same site as https://sitename.com/. If the server hosts more than one thing https can't even tell the difference between them. You don't have much choice but to use the protocol users asked for.
