Https not working

[hurnhu]

How can i make this work for https links? seems to work fine for http.

Hello! No absolutely my phone is not rooted. Ok I'll try to explain what was my objective with this program. I'll reply with a more detailed comment soon. The scenario is that you are supposed have this particular phone acting as a router and two machines at least connected, one of which being a web server and the other a web client. Are you sure this is your scenario? Anyway, more details soon

Noticed now that you are asking about https. Ok I'll test it, but again we are speaking about connections between internal machines behind the phone router: this is not for https connection to the external internet.
Sorry if it was already understood, but I just wanted to be crystal clear about that.

Edit
I've seen your emoji and that you seem disappointed but let me clarify again:
What I mean here is that for external connections your phone should be already acting as a hotspot and no additional app should be needed, so it's not a bad news.

@giuliohome ive updated my original issue. I really just looping for a http/https proxy.
I've got it working, but it just doesnt work for https.

What im trying to do is have my phone work as a http/https proxy for my computer while i am using the hotspot on my phone. As using the proxy is a work around to get faster hotspot when they cut my speed becuase I used too much data.

:( sadly im looking for something for external connections

If you have your computer connected to the phone and the phone is acting as hotspot, this should be a standard case already supported by the native hotspot of the phone. You shouldn't need any special app. Sorry for the confusion, but what am I missing? Which is exactly the issue with your phone hotspot and why do you think you need to install an app?

I am able to connect and use my hotspot fine.

But if i use 15GB of data of my hotspot with in a month my carrier slows my connection to 600kbps.
If i run a app that works as a https/http proxy on my phone while using the hotspot my connection speed go back to >20mbps. Even if i have already used my entire 15GB for the month.

I've tried this with 2 apps and confirmed its working. But i dont trust a proxy made by someone else.

This app is not doing what you say (it is designed for another usage).
I can try to study what you are asking and I can get back to you here if I find something helpful for you. At the moment I can't promise, also because I'm a bit skeptical: why would your carrier be tricked by a proxy? It should keep track of your downloads irrespectively of any proxy you set. But you confirm you have found 2 app working, so, I don't know... What I'm sure about is that this project currently can't help you to achieve such a trick.
I will add other details if I have more to say, I don't want to close it before a more in depth search.

My carrier will give unrestricted download speed if using a proxy. Or by setting defaultcurhoplimit to 64 on the PC and using a VPN on the PC. But then im restricted to how every fast the VPN is.

[giuliohome]

you have to set the target server (e.g. github.com) in network-security-config and then you can test like below
curl --proxy http://192.168.43.1:8000 github.com/giuliohome
The above will fetch the github page via the phone router acting as https proxy and return the html page to the curl cmd. I've tested it on my phone
running the app in debug on intellij idea. Of course it's only a proof of concept, it's not directly usable in a browser (and it's not supposed to be a proxy for the external internet indeed).

What I have described here is similar to a so called "man in the middle" technique for https. Since my original issue has been solved by Xiaomi now, I've accepted to modify this repository to draft such a https connection, for debugging purposes. Notice however that your intention here was off topic and also very misleading. Try to understand that the bandwidth limitations imposed by a provider can't be overcome through a proxy connection, but at best a proxy can use the available bandwidth as max as possible with some optimization or even compression. That would expose anyway one's privacy to a risk of an unreliable third party store, no matter if the code is open sourced (which is generally a good thing, though).
