Description

I'm trying to create a yaml test file with at least one transaction that will emulate TLS termination with the proxy. For reference, the setup would look like this:

  1. Verifier-Client -> Sends-HTTP-Connect -> Proxy -> TLS-Handshake -> Verifier-Server
  2. Verifier-Client <- TLS-handshake <- Proxy

I've experimented with a few different configurations, but I'm not sure how to instruct the client/server to preserve the original TCP stream and switch to TLS on the client side. Any help would be appreciated.

Research direction

No file or existing test entry point is named. Start with the verifier-client and verifier-server YAML formats and determine how HTTP CONNECT, TCP stream preservation, and the TLS handshake are represented; done means a YAML test file reproduces the stated TLS termination transaction.
