[Bug 1838771] [NEW] http:Fix Host header in proxied https connections

[Eric Desrochers]

Public bug reported:

Currently CONNECT requests use the name of the proxy as Host value, instead of
the origin server's name.

According to RFC 2616 "The Host field value MUST represent the naming authority
of the origin server or gateway given by the original URL."

The current implementation causes problems with some proxy vendors. This
commit[0] fixes this.
