Hi Allan,As far as I am aware an proxy server must support the CONNECT
method, and this is what a Client will use to establish a connection
on a port other than 80
Browsing through the archives I found this post of yours. I am now
working exactly on the same kind of SSL proxy you described, and I'm
stuck exactly on the same problem. It's clear that browsers initiate
the SSL session --sending the ClientHello message-- as soon as they are
pointed to a https:// adress, so this kind of approach won't work. I
believe this cannot be bypassed in the browsers, so I was thinking there
might be some workaround using the "CONNECT" http method and somehow
tricking the browser to think it is establishing the SSL session with
the remote server. Anyway, it doesn't seem easy.Have you found any other solution to this? I would appreciate your
help.Thanks.
