Subject: url-gw should support HTTP CONNECT proxies
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:55:02 +0100

Package: url
Severity: wishlist

url-open-stream can choose among a few proxies (socks5, telnet,
rlogin).  It would be nice if it would also support HTTP proxies using
the CONNECT method.

url-http contains a mention of the CONNECT header, but as far as I can
see it never did anything useful.  Using url-http carries lots of
implications that are only valid when using HTTP for data transport.
Therefore I think that implementing a proxy client in url-gw is the
correct way to do it.

I intend to work on this.

What is the status of your work?

Tramp supports CONNECT tunneling for years. Maybe we shall move this
implementation to url-gw.el? Of course, for Emacs 24.2 only.

CONNECT support in the url package would be useful for Excorporate,
since it would allow Emacs to connect to the Exchange server through a
proxy.
