To enable the HTTP client to work with regular proxy servers, it would be great if it could be enhanced so it supports sending "GET http://my.server.name/mypath HTTP/1.1" requests to the proxy server for http connections, and proxy tunneling using the CONNECT method when using SSL connections.

This will enable this usecase:

Browser --> Undertow Reverse Proxy --> Proxy --> Webserver

So we can forward requests to webservers via regular proxy servers when required.
