Correct. Supported but not documented as it doesn't make much sense to
use it on an https_port.

Due to implementation https_port actually supports all of the options
from http_port, plus the ssl options. Transparent interception of SSL is
a bit limited at best as the client verifies the name and validity of
the certificate.

See collapsed_forwarding.
