The use for this is with wanting to cache HTTPS repositories. Say you have a repository that is only HTTPS accessible. You could write your configuration file to use http://polipohost.tld:8123/https://repohost/ and treat it as a normal proxied request, getting speed benefits without having to do SSL MiTM.

http://polipohost.tld:8123/http://urliwanttoget/Basically the same as: https://github.com/zhuzhuor/urlproxy/
