The option to enable absolute_form when proxying HTTPS request.

[dallen66]

Yes I know it is for security reason. But I am write a sandbox where request will proxy though Unix socket, then the request will be encrypted outside the sandbox.

I can create a pull request to enable the ability.

The API can be something like this

pub fn force_absolute_form(mut self) -> Connected {
        self.force_absolute_form = true;
        self
}

You should be able to create a connector that sets proxy, and that will tell hyper to write the request in absolute form.

For regular http:// url it will process it in absolute form but for https:// it default to origin form. I need a way to override it to absolute form.

hyper/src/client/client.rs

Line 1252 in 7f69d8f

fn test_absolute_form() {

hyper/src/client/client.rs

Line 753 in 7f69d8f

if uri.scheme() == Some(&Scheme::HTTPS) {

Thank for your help.
