https in h2o client

[greatwar]

in Configure > Proxy Directives doc, i found this notes:

At the moment, only HTTP is supported.

and code block from examples/http1client.c

if (url_parsed.scheme == &H2O_URL_SCHEME_HTTPS) {
        fprintf(stderr, "https is not (yet) supported\n");
        exit(1);
    }

is there a plan for https in h2o client?

is there a plan for https in h2o client?

Possibly after we release 1.7 next month.

Please keep this issue open until it gets implemented.

Setting milestone to v1.8 (though we might postpone). Please leave a comment if anybody needs this.

@kazuho I would like to have HTTPS supported for HTTP/1.1 client and test it out.
Sooner the better ;)

I would love to have this feature. I'm currently planning to add auto-generated h2o configurations to the Aero framework which uses HTTP/2 by itself. If HTTP/2 proxy backends are supported then I don't need to add special code for the h2o integration. It would allow me to release an h2o-compatible version much earlier.

Closing the issue now that the work has been (mostly) done. Leftovers are tracked as separate issues shown above.
