Description

In #1316, akka-http would gracefully reject CONNECT request. If an option that accepts CONNECT is added, users can easily use Http().serverLayer to implement their http proxy.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current CONNECT request handling in akka http (issue #1316) and implement a configuration option to allow CONNECT. Use Http().serverLayer to build a proxy server.
