In standard HTTP proxy, client will wait until proxy connects to the destination and send 200 OK back. This introduce 1 RTT overhead. If we send the content right after writing the CONNECT command, this could be eliminated.
As for compatibility, a standard http proxy should be able to separate the command and content by \r\n\r\n. In my test, most proxy server can handle this behavior.
With this optimization, HTTPS proxy can have the same overhead as other TLS based protocols.
