Error description

  • When the HTTPS Proxy is configured to forward to another Proxy,
    if the onward Proxy returns an error for an HTTPS connection,
    the connection is
    dropped.

    java.io.IOException: Unable to connect securly via the proxy:
    Proxy returned HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
    
    The client does not receive a response.
