Proxomitron Reborn

love what you've done with proxomitron.

In other words the browser doesn't need to support HTTPS, but it can access those sites through Proxomitron. I'm not sure if any browsers do or can be configured to do this.

half-SSL is kinda cool. sidki added it to his config set and I still use it that way on a browser where I can block ssl connections. There are caveats and limitations to doing this, but it's enough that I never bothered with chaining ProxHTTPSProxy to proxomitron.

When using half-ssl with proxo reborn there's a bug where the Host header contains the half-ssl proxy prefix. For example, this site's Host header appears:
Host: https-px-.www.prxbx.com

You can reproduce the bug using sidki's latest config set, sidki_2011-12-22rc1, and turning on the half-ssl filters
