    Oddly enough, we're in the same boat.

    I'm not the musician who goes by Kompressor, although I have listened to and been confused by his work.

    How many others on here have the same situation?

    (Disclaimer: I resell some Barracuda products to my clients)

    As far as I can tell, Barracuda's Web Filter does this. From the section of the help file associated with HTTPS filtering:

    [snip]

    HTTPS Filtering

    You can expand HTTP filtering to include HTTPS filtering. HTTPS traffic can be detected by content category filters and domain filters, as well as by blocking exceptions for all Web traffic, content category filters, and domain filters. This option is disabled by default.

    Limitations for enabling HTTPS traffic filtering:

    • When HTTPS access is denied, the user will NOT be presented with a block page.
    • If HTTPS access to a particular domain name is denied, HTTPS access to any subdomain of that same domain will also be denied for the same users.
    • If filtering is set to Warn, the HTTPS request will be blocked instead.
    • For URL pattern filters, only the unencrypted portion of the requested HTTPS URL can be checked for a match with the specified pattern.

    To enable HTTPS traffic filtering for content categories and domains:
    Set the Enable HTTPS Filtering option to Yes.

    When this option is enabled, filters created using the following mechanisms will block HTTPS traffic:

    • Content filters (both built-in and custom)
    • Domain-based filters
    • URL pattern filters (only the unencrypted portion of the requested URL can be checked)
    • Blocking exceptions to All Web Traffic or for either of the above types of filters

    Note: Immediately after you enable this option, any client machines that had previously established an HTTPS session are communicating with an IP address and will not be blocked. In this situation, the HTTPS Web site IP address remains in the DNS client resolver cache (as well as in the DNS table on the core router or domain controller) until the DNS request time-to-live (TTL) expires. This can take up to a day or two, depending upon how the HTTPS sites configure TTL.

    [/snip]

    I interpret the above to mean that MITM style filtering is an option for the content filters, but (oddly enough) not for the URL pattern filters. You might want to talk to your vendors or suppliers about bringing one in - Barracuda is very good about giving free 30 day trials.
