This module makes nginx work as forward proxy server for HTTPS.
It implements this function via supporting HTTP CONNECT method, which is not supported by original nginx.

For details of CONNECT tunnel, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_tunnel#HTTP_CONNECT_tunneling.

BTW, nginx proxy module (e.g. directive proxy_pass) can do reverse proxy and forward proxy for HTTP. It cannot support HTTPS forward proxy, that it cannot support CONNECT request.
