Jeff,

Thanks very much for the info. What my company wants is a way to monitor ssl
traffic for its customers to any site. So, it would be like using something
like Squid, except running some intelligent parsers on any traffic that goes
through including SSL decrypted traffic. This is where nginx would fail, I
believe, because you have to specifically configure it to point to a set of
hosts, whereas the tool I would hope to write would simply decrypt and
forward traffic to any host. Is this the case?

Thanks!
Jake
