I have need of HTTP proxy support for a project. I found a patch submitted by
Eric Litak on Mar 29th 2012. The patch did not apply cleanly with the latest
code. For the sections that didn't apply, I modified the latest code to
duplicate the same behavior. It is working in the minimal tests I have done.
Attached is the revised patch.
Please consider incorporating HTTP proxy support. Our usage case is that we
have systems accessing an image repository over a WAN and wanted to add a local
caching proxy server.
It would be a nice to have. The patches as written have multiple issues
which render them unsuitable for inclusion, but the more important issue
is that they don't address HTTPS at all and will result in incorrect
behaviour when using an HTTPS URI.
I've just pushed a rewritten HTTP core which adds a separate notion of
an HTTP connection, which is now used to implement HTTP connection
pools. This would be a good point at which to think about adding
HTTP(S) proxy support.
