You have always been able to put privoxy into a longer pipeline that had an
SSL bump so that privoxy would always have cleartext headers available to
it.  Personally I think this is a much better solution instead of trying to
build everything into one binary - just assemble your network pipeline as
required for your environment, with Privoxy being just a piece of that.
