<summary>
    <p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <module
    >mod_proxy</module>. It provides support for the <code>CONNECT</code>
    HTTP method. This method is mainly used to tunnel SSL requests
    through proxy servers.</p>

    <p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling <code>CONNECT</code>
    requests, <module>mod_proxy</module> and
    <module>mod_proxy_connect</module> have to be present in the server.</p>

    <note type="warning"><title>Warning</title>
      <p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a
      href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
      servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
      large.</p>
