I'm not too familiar with the CONNECT method. I'd try capturing a tcpdump of a few types of client reqests and decrypt the data with ssldump to figure out exactly what's in the payload.

 

 

I'm not sure how you would go about extracting and decrypting the SSL traffic in the payload in a rule. Can you check to see if there is anything you actually need to inspect or modify in the payload?
