As I said, it works in pass-thru mode. here are send/recieve dumps for 
following transaction:



$ export https_proxy=localhost:8080


$ wget https://fossil-scm.org

are able to read  the content of the transmission.  How can the proxy get 
involved?  If  the proxy could come into play, that would mean that HTTPS was  
vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack - it would be a serious  weakness of 
HTTPS.>> - Altu>>>> -----Original Message-----> From: D. Richard Hipp
