Thanks for writing this.  Can you give an example of how I'd use it
(ideally in the form of a test in t/ so we avoid this functionality
regressing, but if that's not straightforward then an example for the
commit message is fine as well)?

Hi Jonathan,
Its usage is the same as other protocols. Just set http.proxy or
http_proxy/https_proxy
environment to https://url.

To use apache server as a proxy, just add `ProxyRequests On` to an https
site.

Unfortunately I don't think we have any proxy tests at all in our test
suite right now. The sticking point is that we need an actual proxy to
test against. :)

If it really is as simple as "ProxyRequests On", then we might be able
to convince the existing apache process we run to proxy requests to
itself (perhaps on a secondary port?).
