OK, So if a proxy connect is used it then creates a stateful connection from client through proxy to server and get the ACK back from the backend/server and not the proxy?
OR We can start by simply asking do apachie proxies in their standard setup or install send ACK back to requesting client or does it just pass that information (request) to the server and the client receives ACK from server and NOT the proxy?

So the answer is no, any aggregation is an illusion. For stateful proxied connections it is necessary to use proxy CONNECT method from the client to the back end. Bill
