Client should use GET not CONNECT with proxy when target URI is HTTP

[micw]

Expected Behavior

When accessing an URI via proxy, the client should use "GET" for HTTP-Targets and CONNECT for HTTPS-Targets.

Actual Behavior

The Client always uses CONNECT. This is technical valid but breaks things like proxy-side request filtering for Non-HTTP requests.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a client with http proxy set to localhost:someport. Run netcat (nc -l -p someport). Query a http url through that client. Check what request is issued.

Your Environment

• Reactor version(s) used: reactor-core-3.4.18, reactor-netty-core-1.0.19
