Redirecting WCCP to include HTTPS traffic

[Kevin Melton]

I am working at a client site today.  The client uses a Cisco Cache engine in combination with the 4500 Core Switch/Router to redirect HTTP requests to the Cache Engine to either pull cached content, or send it out for fulfillment to the website being requested by the client.  they also use Websense for policy enforcment.  the Cache Engine sends to the Websense Server to either allow or deny.

I think WCCP redericts port 80 only by defalut.  The configuration on the Core switch is as follows:

Ip wccp web-cache.  Then there are "ip wccp redirect in" statements on each VLAN.

The client today told me that he did not think that https requests were being handled, as he sees users whom have no Internet access priveleges use HTTPS and get to web sites.

How can i configure WCCP in include 443 requests as well?

thx

Kevin,

Here's a documentation link for ACNS that describes how to configure HTTPS redirection:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/acns/v55_13/configuration/local/guide/params.html#wp1366561

Just above this in the same documentation it describes limitations:
