Update the proxying documentation to reflect support for HTTP and HTTPS proxies in addition to SOCKS5. The documentation now describes: - Use of http:// and https:// proxy URLs via the all_proxy environment variable - Embedded basic authentication in proxy URLs - A warning when credentials are sent over cleartext HTTP proxies - Limitations of HTTP(S) proxies (outbound TCP only) Signed-off-by: Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca <luizluca@gmail.com>

Register HTTP and HTTPS proxy dialers and implement CONNECT-based tunneling for HTTP proxies. The new dialer supports: - Plain HTTP proxies using CONNECT - HTTPS proxies by performing a TLS handshake before CONNECT - Optional basic authentication via Proxy-Authorization (with a warning when creds are used over cleartext HTTP) This allows all_proxy to be set to http:// or https:// URLs, enabling data transfer through HTTP(S) proxies. ### Purpose Allow peers to connect using HTTP Proxies (CONNECT) ### Testing Tested with both HTTP and HTTPS proxy connection, using both no auth and plain authentication. ### Screenshots No visual change ### Documentation syncthing/docs#987 ## Authorship Your name and email will be added automatically to the AUTHORS file based on the commit metadata. --------- Signed-off-by: Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca <luizluca@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jakob Borg <jakob@kastelo.net> Co-authored-by: Jakob Borg <jakob@kastelo.net>
