HTTPS proxies:
An HTTPS proxy receives all transactions over an SSL/TLS connection. Once a
secure connection with the proxy is established, the user agent uses the proxy
as usual, including sending CONNECT requests to instruct the proxy to establish
a [usually secure] TCP tunnel with an origin server. HTTPS proxies protect
nearly all aspects of user-proxy communications as opposed to HTTP proxies that
receive all requests (including CONNECT requests) in vulnerable clear text.
With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_ SSL/TLS
sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy and the "inner"
one between the user agent and the origin server (through the proxy). This
change adds supports for such nested sessions as well.
The secure connection with the proxy requires its own set of the usual
SSL/TLS-related options (their descriptions need polishing):
--proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against
--proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against
--proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password
--proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use
--proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the given file
--proxy-insecure Allow connections to SSL sites without certs
--proxy-key KEY Private key file name
--proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key
--proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop
--proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2
--proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3
--proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1
--proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username
--proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password
--proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP)
All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts, except
--proxy-crlfile defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath defaults to --capath.
Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable,
similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable.
SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination:
If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to the
SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy.
