The SSL-bump bypass code on intercepted HTTPS traffic generates a fake
CONNECT request from the original destination IP:port in an attempt to
trigger a TCP tunnel being opened for the un-bumped data to be
transferred over.
The current implementation breaks in two situations:
1) when IPv6 traffic is intercepted
The URL field generated does not account for the additional []
requirements involved when IPv6+port are combined.
The resulting fake requests look like:
CONNECT ::1:443 HTTP/1.1
Host: ::1
... which are both invalid, and will fail to parse. Breaking IPv6 HTTPS
interception bypass.
Resolve this by using Ip::Address::ToURL() function which was created
for the purpose of generating URL hostnames from raw-IP + port with
the bracketing inserted when required.
2) when a non-443 port is being intercepted
The Host: header generated is missing the port and Squid Host: header
validity will reject the outbound
CONNECT 127.0.0.1:8443 HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1
... this is an invalid request. Squid is currently ignoring the Host
header. However Squid tunnel.cc does make use of peering and may relay
the fake request Host: to upstream peers where we cannot be so sure what
will happen.
Resolve this issue by re-using the generated IP:port string for both URL
and Host: fields, which preserves teh port in Host: regardless of value.
This also means there is an unnecessary :443 tagged on for most HTTPS
traffic, however the omission of port from the Host: header is only a MAY
and this should not cause any issues.
