Summary

  • Clarifies that HTTPS_PROXY specifies the proxy for HTTPS requests, not that the proxy itself uses HTTPS
  • Changes example URLs from https://proxy.example.com:3129 to http://proxy.example.com:3128 since most proxies accept HTTP connections and use CONNECT tunneling for HTTPS traffic
  • Fixes "non-HTTPS and a HTTPs proxy" casing to "an HTTP and an HTTPS proxy"
  • Applied consistently across both Regular install and Rootless mode tabs, including daemon.json and verification output examples

Fixes #20817

Clarify that HTTPS_PROXY specifies the proxy for HTTPS requests, not
that the proxy itself uses HTTPS. Change example URLs from
https://proxy.example.com:3129 to http://proxy.example.com:3128 since
most proxies accept HTTP connections and use CONNECT tunneling for
HTTPS traffic. Also fix "non-HTTPS and a HTTPs proxy" casing.

Fixes docker#20817

Assessment: 🟢 APPROVE

This PR successfully fixes misleading HTTPS_PROXY documentation. The changes are technically accurate and improve clarity:

Technical accuracy: ✅ Correctly changes HTTPS_PROXY URLs from https:// to http:// - most proxies accept HTTP connections and use CONNECT tunneling for HTTPS traffic

Clarity improvement: ✅ Changes "If you are behind an HTTPS proxy server" to "To proxy HTTPS requests" - correctly clarifies that HTTPS_PROXY handles proxying of HTTPS traffic, not that the proxy itself uses HTTPS

Grammar fix: ✅ Fixes "non-HTTPS and a HTTPs proxy" to "an HTTP and an HTTPS proxy"

Consistency: ✅ Applied uniformly across both Regular install and Rootless mode tabs

Formatting: ✅ Removes extraneous blank line in NO_PROXY section

No issues found. The changes align with the style guide and accurately address issue #20817.
