HTTPS over HTTP Proxy?

[Hagen]

Hi all,

is there a documented way of doing this?

From what I understand, I need to do a 

http.createClient("myproxy", 8080).request("CONNECT", "https://mytarget", {Upgrade: "TLS/1.0"})

Anybody tried this and can provide me example code how to switch to TLS afterwards? How do I differentiate between the header the proxy sees and the crypted header the HTTPS target sees?

Thanks,

Hagen

Also looking for a solution to this. Wrapping the node process in
proxychains works, but would prefer it to be handled internally.

Also interested in this, I've temporarily worked around the issue with
proxychains but not the solution I'm looking for.

CONNECT works like this:

1. You connect to the proxy
2. The proxy opens a TCP stream to the target server
3. The proxy dumbly forwards all traffic between you and the target

I don't think you can get CONNECT to reliably work with Node's HTTP
library. The HTTP parser expects well-formed messages but after step 1
the stream is no longer true HTTP, just arbitrary data being proxied
between two peers.

Thanks Ben. Any suggestions on how to implement this? Or seen any examples of this kind of thing being done with node?

Sorry for the double post above, I was using the google groups web interface and the messages didn't show up, so thought they didn't go through.
