Feature Request: Support for HTTPS proxies #4

Closed

Description

@scottcrossen

Right now, _helpers.py:57 fails with:

ValueError: Invalid scheme component: https

https proxies are great for securely transferring auth headers to the proxy. I'm unsure as to whether this change would amount to whitelisting https and using the same http handler, or if a whole SSL routine will have to be written.

    The problem is more complex. In general case we need to implement "TLS in TLS" feature. Not all frameworks support it. See this discussion for example.

    Makes sense! Yep that's why I listed it as a feature request. If there are no plans to include it ever then feel free to close. I would love to have the expertise to add it myself but unfortunately I don't write python. :)
