[squid-dev] forward bumped traffic to parent in plain form

[Anthony Pankov]

Hello,

May be you can target me to the point behind all bumping/ssl  logic  where normal HTTP processing begin?
I mean is there any creation of ClientHttpRequest derived from previously processed CONNECT tunnel? ClientHttpRequest with bumped ssl  as its I/O?
That would do normal things like a cache lookup and forwarding to peers.

> PeakAndSplice is a nickname of a project (or a set of features). It does not mean "peak and then splice". It kind of means "code that supports peek, splice, and bump actions".
