Configuration for authentication / ssl / http/https proxy

That's a server proxying another server. I'm talking here about proxy server defined per HTTP/1.1 and HTTP Authentication RFC, like what you configure in your browser to access internet sometimes. It is the same principle though but it is a bit more complex than this example.

I hope someone writes one for Vert.x. There is one for Netty (https://github.com/adamfisk/LittleProxy) .
