Subject: bug#11788: url-http does not properly handle https over proxy
Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2012 12:11:27 +0200

When url-http is retrieving a https url over a http proxy it should use
the CONNECT method instead of trying to connect the proxy over TLS.  The
TLS handshake needs to start only after the proxy has forwarded the
connection to the remote host, and the request then needs to be
continued as if connected directly.

Andreas.
