This adds an in-proc HTTP proxy server that is spun up on launch to handle asset downloading over HTTPS. The FusionFall client does not natively support HTTPS, and we've run into instances where ISPs intercept the plain requests, breaking some players.
The server uses whatever port the OS assigns to it and upgrades all HTTP requests to HTTPS, and is shut down after the game process exits. ffrunner is pointed to the proxy server, and the proxy server uses the asset URL as the base path to rewrite requests accordingly.
This behavior is on by default, but can be disabled in the launcher settings.
This was made possible by https://github.com/yungcomputerchair/rust-proxy (forked from https://github.com/jayhsudev/rust-proxy).
