Are you sure? This seems backward. As I understand it, a GET request
to a proxy triggers a GET request to the origin server, and a CONNECT
request to a proxy triggers a TCP socket connection to the origin host
(which may not even be an HTTP/HTTPS server). This has nothing to do
with the protocol used between the client and the proxy.
