Closes #111.

API (additive only)

  • ProxyEnvironment::proxy_for_tls_capable(url): like proxy_for, but also accepts https:// proxies.
  • Route::proxy_tls() -> Option<TransportRequest>: for an https:// proxy, UpgradeTls { server_name: <proxy host> }. The embedder performs it right after the TCP connect, before anything else is written. After that the existing flow runs unchanged inside the proxy session:
    • https target: connect_head, then tunnel_response, then the target's UpgradeTls, which nests inside the proxy TLS.
    • http target: an absolute-form request, with proxy credentials, sent inside the proxy TLS.
  • turnloop_tls::ClientConfig::with_alpn(alpn): the same roots, verifier and host time with a different ALPN offer.

proxy_for is unchanged and still refuses https:// proxies. An embedder that doesn't know about proxy_tls therefore can't end up writing plaintext to a TLS proxy port.

Async client: it uses proxy_for_tls_capable. Its transport is now Layer<Layer<AsyncIo>> (plaintext or TLS, twice). The proxy hop offers only http/1.1, because CONNECT and absolute-form requests are HTTP/1.1 even when the client config offers h2.

Tests

  • codecs::https_proxy_is_opt_in_and_its_tls_comes_first: opt-in scheme check, ordering for https and http targets, default port 443, credentials in CONNECT, and no proxy TLS for an http:// proxy.
  • asynchronous::node_https_via_authenticated_https_proxy_nests_tls: a real Node HTTPS proxy that prefers h2 handles an authenticated CONNECT, and a TLS origin sits behind it. The test asserts that the CONNECT arrived encrypted and that the proxy negotiated http/1.1. With the ALPN restriction removed, the test fails with 'h2' !== 'http/1.1'.

Locally fmt and clippy --workspace --all-features --all-targets -D warnings are clean, and cargo test --locked --workspace --all-features -- --test-threads=1 passes 528, fails 0.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for connecting through HTTPS proxies, including TLS-secured proxy connections and HTTPS tunneling to destinations.
    • Added an option to configure the application protocols offered during TLS negotiation.
  • Bug Fixes
    • HTTPS proxy connections now negotiate HTTP/1.1 for proxy requests, including authenticated tunnels.

Walkthrough

The HTTP client now supports HTTPS proxies. It can establish TLS to the proxy before CONNECT and add target TLS inside the tunnel. Proxy selection, route behavior, and asynchronous requests have corresponding tests.

Changes: HTTPS proxy routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Proxy selection and route behavior
protocols/turnloop-http/src/client.rs, protocols/turnloop-http/tests/codecs.rs
proxy_for continues to reject HTTPS proxies. proxy_for_tls_capable accepts them, and Route::proxy_tls requests a TLS upgrade for HTTPS proxy routes. The tests cover proxy scheme selection and routing for HTTP and HTTPS targets.
Nested TLS transport and integration test
protocols/turnloop-tls/src/lib.rs, protocols/turnloop-http/src/asynchronous/client.rs, protocols/turnloop-http/tests/asynchronous.rs
The asynchronous client wraps streams in generic layers and establishes proxy TLS with HTTP/1.1 ALPN before CONNECT. HTTPS targets receive a separate TLS layer inside the tunnel. ClientConfig::with_alpn returns a cloned configuration with the supplied ALPN protocols. The integration test checks authenticated CONNECT through an HTTPS proxy and a successful response.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

This change adds HTTPS proxy support without altering existing HTTP proxy behavior. The supplied evidence shows no actionable merge-blocking risk.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: adding https:// proxy support to turnloop-http, with a TLS layer to the proxy that wraps the CONNECT tunnel. The changeset matches this. It adds proxy_for_tls_capable, Route::proxy_tls, a TLS-to-proxy layer with HTTP/1.1 ALPN in the async client, and ClientConfig::with_alpn. The new tests cover HTTPS proxy routing and nested TLS. The title is somewhat long at 79 characters, but it is specific and not vague.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Every changed area supports issue #111 or its TLS-capable proxy path. protocols/turnloop-http/src/client.rs adds proxy_for_tls_capable, a shared select helper, and Route::proxy_tls. These changes implement the proxy scheme handling and the TLS-to-proxy step. protocols/turnloop-tls/src/lib.rs adds ClientConfig::with_alpn. The async client uses it to offer http/1.1 on the proxy hop. protocols/turnloop-http/src/asynchronous/client.rs replaces the backend-specific Transport enum with generic Layer&lt;S&gt; wrappers. This refactor is needed to nest the proxy TLS layer and the target TLS layer. The two test files cover the new routing and the Node HTTPS proxy case. No unrelated change was identified in the reviewed summary or in the client.rs diff.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #111 has two needed items. Item 1 requires that proxy_for accept https proxy URIs and report the scheme. At the reviewed head, ProxyEnvironment::proxy_for calls select(url, false), and select rejects any scheme other than http with only HTTP proxies are supported. The PR states that proxy_for is unchanged and still refuses https:// proxies. Item 1 is therefore unmet. The PR adds proxy_for_tls_capable as a separate entry point. This is a design choice, not the requested behavior. Item 2 is met. Route::proxy_tls() returns an UpgradeTls request for an https:// proxy. The embedder performs it before the CONNECT or absolute-form request. The target TLS session nests inside the tunnel. turnloop_tls::ClientConfig::with_alpn and the async client's generic Layer&lt;Layer&lt;AsyncIo&gt;&gt; transport support the composition. The test asynchronous::node_https_via_authenticated_https_proxy_nests_tls covers the nested flow. The test codecs::https_proxy_is_opt_in_and_its_tls_comes_first covers the route ordering.

Resolution

Make proxy_for accept https proxy URIs and report the proxy scheme to the caller, as item 1 requires. Alternatively, obtain a documented change to the issue #111 requirement that accepts proxy_for_tls_capable in place of proxy_for. If the requirement changes, the PR description and the issue must both state the new API contract.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 25.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 4 functions across 5 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

…the tunnel

ProxyEnvironment::proxy_for_tls_capable accepts https:// proxy URLs as well
as http://. Route::proxy_tls then names the TLS upgrade to the proxy itself,
which comes right after the connection is established: the CONNECT tunnel
(https target) or the absolute-form request (http target) runs inside it, and
an https target's own TLS session nests within the tunnel.

proxy_for is unchanged and still refuses https:// proxies, so an embedder
that does not perform the proxy upgrade can never write plaintext to a TLS
proxy port.

The async client uses the new entry point. Its transport is now a stack of
plaintext-or-TLS layers, and the proxy hop offers only http/1.1 ALPN
(turnloop-tls ClientConfig::with_alpn), since CONNECT and absolute-form
requests are HTTP/1.1 even when the client config also offers h2.

Closes #111
