For proxying HTTPS connections, a properly configured HTTP proxy is required. The HTTP proxy will handle the external SSL/TLS connection and analyze the HTTP traffic embedded into the encrypted SSL/TLS channel. Two basic scenarios — a transparent and a non-transparent one — will be discussed.

The best way is to derive own proxy classes from the default ones and modify their parameters as required. For details on deriving and modifying proxies, see Section 6.6, Proxy classes in Proxedo Network Security Suite 1.0 Administrator Guide.
