Would it be a problem in HTTPS, since you cannot inspect HTTPS headers in the proxy?


In the context of a load balancing proxy, you apply the SSL cert to the proxy, and do the encryption there - known as SSL termination. Otherwise like you said, the proxy can't see inside the request (not even the URL).


You can't inspect the path either, only the domain, and even that's only if the browser is using SNI.
