Issue/Introduction

HTTPS sites are not working and you are implementing CPAD (Caching Proxy Authenticated Data)

Resolution

Due to protocol detection done in SG4, CPAD deployments require the following policy to ensure that secure sites (SSL) work properly.

Deployment:
user---proxy1---proxy2---internet
- proxy1 forwards all requests to proxy2
- authentication is only done on proxy2

Policy required:
<Proxy>
http.method=CONNECT detect_protocol(none)
