Hi guys

we have an extension for Firefox (also Chrome, Opera) establishing connections over HTTPS (squid on server-side). Currently our extension for Firefox is using .pac files but that approach is troublesome as we can't add exceptions on client-side, like we do on Chrome. Is there any way to connect via HTTPS proxies? Or, do you plan to implement support for defining HTTPS proxies in Firefox?

thanks in advance
