Description

We now have tests for SSH, but we also needs tests for https and the proxy support. Does it make sense to have travis install some https server (nginx?) and write some basic tests. We probably don't want to add the code to build those to deps/ just for the tests. Alternatively, we could use an HttpServer.jl based test.

Research direction
Examine the existing SSH clone tests in the Julia repository to understand the testing setup. Decide between using nginx or HttpServer.jl for simulating an HTTPS server. Since the issue has been open since 2016 without updates, it may require maintainer input to clarify the preferred approach. Look for any comments or linked issues that discuss this topic.
