The HTTP method Connect is used to establish a tunnel between the client and the server through a proxy server. This method allows the client and server to establish a direct connection, which is sometimes necessary for working with secure protocols such as HTTPS or WebSocket. The main purpose of HTTP Connect is to transmit data through a secure tunnel while ignoring any restrictions or filters of the proxy server. For example, if you are using a VPN to connect to your company's internal network, there may be a need to establish a direct connection to your network's server through a proxy. This is what the HTTP Connect method is used for.
