HTTPS Forwarding Broken in HTTP-PROXY

[ghost]

I tried to get HTTPS -> HTTP forwarding working yesterday and it didn't work. After some troubleshooting the bug seems to be in the underlying Nodejitsu http-proxy module if you are trying to forward to a target not running on anything but port 80 or 443.

Seems like they have already fixed it in master, but have not yet pushed a release. Giving you a heads up that you might want to watch for this fix and push an update on your dependency as well. This is a pretty inconvenient bug as SSL termination and forwarding is a pretty common use case for using a reverse proxy.

Thanks for reporting. It's a weird bug, definitely, but we can't do too much until they release a new patch version, so let's wait for a while. I'll have an eye on this.
