About the HTTPS proxy

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a request/response protocol
between clients and servers used for secure communications and transactions. HTTPS is more secure than
HTTP because HTTPS uses a digital certificate to encrypt and decrypt user page requests as well as the pages
that are returned by the web server. The HTTPS client is usually a web browser. The HTTPS server is a remote
resource that keeps or creates HTML files, images, and other content.
By default, when an HTTPS client starts a request, it establishes a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
connection on port 443. Most HTTPS servers listen for requests on port 443. When it receives the request from
the client, the server replies with the requested file, an error message, or some other information.
