Hi ! I'm trying to understand why i cannot do https through proxy (if anyone has it working, please let me know); To my understanding there are two ways to do it: - one is when the communication between client and proxy is regular HTTP, and proxy to the destination is HTTPS. In this case client doesn't even need to support SSL, because all the SSL work will be done by the proxy, which requires proxy to be configured for that. And i think not all of them are - in my particular case i'd always get "500 Internal Server Error" from the proxy. - the other, and prefered way is to use proxy SSL tunneling, which is established using CONNECT command to the proxy, and getting the 200 response if the destination server has accepted the connection. Here's the spec for this: http://www.web-cache.com/Writings/Internet-Drafts/draft-luotonen-web-proxy-tunne ling-01.txt This is not implemented in LibWWW, am i correct ? Is anyone working on this right now ?
