igrigorik/em-http-request — Issue #146: HTTP Proxies require CONNECT tunnel for HTTPS

Regarding [RFC 2817](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2817.txt), https requests over HTTP proxies do not use a TLS handshake, instead they should create a tunnel using CONNECT. I notice that you previously had CONNECT for HTTP proxies and removed it completely, this feature is still required for https requests and should be added back in.

Thanks for your help
