Jetty ProxyServlet with SSL support

Question

I am using Jetty\'s ProxyServlet as a HTTP proxy.

After I start the server and add the socks proxy in firefox I can access websites through the proxy without any pro

Answer 1

I'm using the latest release of Jetty currently (9.4.1) and I was able to get HTTPS proxy working by simply adding this to my Proxy Servlet:

@Override
protected HttpClient newHttpClient() {        
    return new HttpClient(new SslContextFactory());
}

Credit to k2k2e6's example which I started with before realizing I could just override this simple method instead of the entire createHttpClient() method.
