You may also be able to use Privoxy for HTTPS adaptation "as is" if you
write an eCAP or ICAP adapter that emulates both an HTTP client and an
HTTP server (and put Privoxy between them). We did HTTP emulation in
eCAP (for integration with a DPI product that could not do HTTPS) so I
am pretty sure that this is doable. However, I do not know whether it
would be easier to teach Privoxy to speak eCAP and/or ICAP instead.
