Just for the record, isn't youtube by nature SSL irrespective of 
whether, it's a desktop or mobile hand device's !, if so then the 
connection's won't show up in the privoxy log's given that the user has 
elected to run privoxy from one source to cover all household device's. 
So there for any SSL website will not show. As to whether external SSL 
connection like (Ad's) called for by the actual SSL website is blocked 
is an unknown factor at present given no log show the end result.

https://www.yourube.com = desktop
https://m.yourube.com   = mobile device's

P.S  I was able to see blocked SSL on localhost (127.0.0.1) in log's
