HTTP CONNECT request in client mode

[daniel1704]

I've been working with some HTTP proxy servers for a project and realized most of the end-point URLs I want to access are secure (HTTPS). I would need some kind of TCP tunneling to use the proxy, this is usually done with the CONNECT method for HTTP requests. However, the esp_http_client library doesn't include this method in its options. How can I send this request? Or is there any other way to stablish a TCP tunnel with the esp32
