liveweb proxy does not appear to proxy and record https #44

looks like the liveweb proxy does not handle https, for example:

$ curl --progress-bar -v -x wwwb-live0:9090 https://archive.org/ | zcat | wc

returns a 500 error

To actually proxy https over http is rather complicated and unnecessary for this use case (just looked into it for wayback itself acting as proxy server). I would suggest something like this:

curl -H "x-archive-proxy-protocol: https" -x wwwb-live0:9090 http://archive.org/

and use the custom header to let the proxy know it should grab that content via https rather than http.
