Description
I am trying to get Litespeed to be a reverse proxy in front of a squid forward proxy. But it doesn't pass proxy-formatted HTTP like for instance the CONNECT method through to squid. It responds with 400 Bad Request. Is there any way to configure it so that it just passes all the traffic it receives through to the squid server? I know its an odd configuration but I'm a developer trying to prototype something. Thanks in advance!

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the Litespeed reverse-proxy-to-Squid setup with a CONNECT request and inspect where the 400 Bad Request is generated. Done means documenting or implementing a configuration that forwards proxy-formatted traffic to Squid without rejection.
