This TLS connection is handled separately from the +server connection so instead of `--insecure` and `--cacert` to control the +certificate verification, you use `--proxy-insecure` and `--proxy-cacert`. +With these options, you make sure that the TLS connection and the trust of the +proxy can be kept totally separate from the TLS connection to the server. -- cgit v1.2.3
