Hi Michael,
I need a review for CR 6365587: "Proxy-Connection header sent through
tunnel".
Proxy-Connection header is being sent to the http server over an SSL
tunnel. The Proxy-Connection header is only of interest to the proxy.
You can see in our
sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection.writeRequests() that we do
not check if we are in a tunnel situation before setting this header.
When tunneling through a proxy then the proxy is essentially just
forwarding the data and does not interpret it. We do not need to set
this header and may cause issues with http servers that do not interpret
it correctly.
Webrev:

There is no regression test since it requires a https server and proxy,
too convoluted for such a trivial change!
