I did some experiments ~2 weeks ago. It worked, but I still need to
work on the certificates. Squid will re-issue certificates for those
connections that it intercepts, and if the browser doesn't recognize
the CA, it's going to scream out loud. For the test, I imported my
test CA in the browser and then was completely transparent. Not sure
if there is a way to avoid this. I hope not, actually.
