Unable to proxy to a https server

[kjatti]

The current released version 0.2.x cannot proxy to a https target, this is because of changes to the underlying 'http-proxy' package. This issue is fixed in the master but there has been no release done in more than a year.

Forked and released as https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-connect-proxy2.

grunt-connect-proxy2 is only used as the new package name, the fork can be found at https://github.com/bjornharrtell/grunt-connect-proxy.

hi! sorry i've pretty much ran out of time to maintain the project since becoming a father. I'm happy to open up admin access to this project and the npm package to let everyone keep it going. Let me know if that's of interest and i'll take care of that. Also happy to migrate this off to another repo as needed

You are also father to your code. :)

Joke aside, while I don't think I got time or need for proper maintenance I'm willing put some time into upgrading the deps and publishing a new version if not for no other reason to be able to obsolete my fork.

I use this package both for personal projects and at work. Would really like to see some updates, especially with HTTPS.

I understand that you might not have the time to properly maintain it yourself and as you say the best course of action would probably be to let someone take over maintenance over it.

@bjornharrtell seems like a good candidate. I would also volunteer but I'm not yet familiar with the inner workings of this code (could if needed).

Anyway, thank you for writing this package in the first place.

I have the same issue, neither the https or secure options seem to have any effect, but found a work around by using this in your proxy config:

protocol: 'https:'

For example:

{
  context: '/url/to/proxy',
  host: 'httpshost.com',
  port: 443,
  protocol: 'https:',
  headers: {
    host: 'httpshost.com'
  }
}

I successfully run grunt-connect-proxy2 with the following config https://stackoverflow.com/a/48035737/509565

Thank you @bjornharrtell
