Title: Fixed http proxies option

The Proxies option uses the CONNECT method for all ports, most proxies today only support this method for ssl connections (tested: burp, paros/zap, squid default install)

With this patch it now only uses CONNECT if the port is 443, so now it works for plain http and you can use burp or other proxy to easily inspect the http traffic being sent by the msf module.
