<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the <code>CONNECT</code>
    HTTP method. This method is mainly used to tunnel SSL requests
    through proxy servers.</p>

    <p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling <code>CONNECT</code>
    requests, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_connect.html">mod_proxy_connect</a></code> have to be present in the server.</p>

    <div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
      <p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
      servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
      large.</p>
