https through transparent squid


Hi
I am running CentOS 6.6 and squid-3.1.10-29.el6.x86_64.

I am able to redirect my port 80 traffic succesfully through squid but cannot do for https.

All web pages on this topic says to
initialize SQUID ssl_db directory by /usr/lib/squid/ssl_crtd -c -s /var/lib/ssl_db
but so such file is present

Can anyone please tell me how to redirect the 443 traffic through transparent squid.

Short answer: You can't do that.

Longer answer: One of the main reasons for using HTTPS is to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. And while this isn't the intention, a transparent proxy functions exactly like a man-in-the-middle attack.
