I’ve been fighting this very issue myself, except on sites I don’t want the users to get to. Per Websense technical support, this is the case for all the different ‘integration’ options they have. UNLESS you have a proxy server.
The problem stems from the fact that the SSL packet is encrypted and so cannot ‘see’ what the URL is only the IP address – which may or may not be in a permitted (or blocked) category.

But it is a huge security hole……

I’m not surprised — it certainly wouldn’t work in all situations, but it’s worth the try…
