Package M2Crypto :: Module httpslib :: Class ProxyHTTPSConnection

Class ProxyHTTPSConnection

An HTTPS Connection that uses a proxy and the CONNECT request.

When the connection is initiated, CONNECT is first sent to the proxy (along with authorization headers, if supplied). If successful, an SSL connection will be established over the socket through the proxy and to the target host.

Finally, the actual request is sent over the SSL connection tunneling through the proxy.
