I let apache to handle requests to my own domain and squid for the rest by using privoxy's forward directives, and I also want to redirect all http to https, using this simple rule in user.action:

Please provide a log excerpt with the debug settings documented at:

I don't completely understand your setup but having Privoxy listening
on 443 seems like a strange decision as this port is mainly used
for encrypted requests while Privoxy expects unencrypted requests.
