The just released IO::Socket::SSL 2.096 allows stacking of TLS layers by using OpenSSL BIO, i.e. have an outer TLS session and inside it another TLS session (or even more). This makes it possible to solve libwww-perl/libwww-perl#417.
The (suprisingly small) change in this pull request works for me when using dumbproxy as upstream, both for http and https targets and both for http and https proxies. I did not extend the existing test t/https_proxy.t though.
