EWW cannot access HTTPS sites via proxy

Question

Here's my proxy setup:

(setq url-proxy-services '(("no_proxy" . "my-corp-proxy")
                           ("http" . "my-corp-proxy:8080")
                           ("https" . "my-port-proxy:8080")))

I can use eww to access HTTP sites, but when I try to access HTTPS sites I get this response:

I've installed gnutls as well; evaluating (gnutls-available-p) gives t.

How do I solve this issue?

Can you access HTTPS sites with curl? `$ http_proxy=my-port-proxy:8080 curl https://www.example.com` — Wilfred Hughes, Dec 31 '15 at 19:36
Yes, I can access HTTPS sites with curl behind the same proxy. — SparedWhisle, Jan 01 '16 at 04:18
@feklee no. Im inside corporate network, no direct internet connection. — SparedWhisle, Jul 18 '16 at 03:58
If you remove configuration of `url-proxy-services`, do you get the same error message? Can you access the web from IE? I’m asking because maybe you have to set up the proxy using Windows settings. — feklee, Jul 18 '16 at 07:07

I had the same problem and I have finally got it working.

I applied the patch in https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11788#52.

Then, to solve

error in process filter: url-http-generic-filter: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, http/1.1

I just had to add a line to url-http.el:462 which was

(skip-chars-forward "HTTP/")        ; Skip HTTP Version
(skip-chars-forward "http/")        ; Skip HTTP Version

FWIW, the fix is included in Emacs 26. – Basil Feb 08 '18 at 15:21
Also, the first argument to `skip-chars-forward` is interpreted as an unquoted regexp character set, not literally. – Basil Feb 08 '18 at 15:48
