Proxy config secure flag

[tomtucker18]

I have a development backend running on HTTPS with a self-signed certificate. With the angular-http-server I proxy all /api requests to this server. The problem is that the proxy won't make a request to this "insecure" backend.

This problem could be solved with a configuration option for secure/insecure requests. With this feature, the config would be as following.

const config = {
  proxy: [
    {
      forward: ["api"],
      target: "192.168.56.101:8080",
      protocol: "https",
      secure: false
    }
  ]
}

The node-http-proxy library used in this project allows the secure option to be configured. (Proxy Options)
