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.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into using an HTTP server like HttpServer.jl to mock HTTPS clone/proxy for testing. Examine existing SSH tests for structure.
