The 3.14.0.0 changelog entry for https_verify said it validates the https_proxy_host server certificate. That's misleading: the connection to the forward proxy is always plain HTTP, so the proxy never presents a certificate to Kong. https_verify actually validates the upstream's certificate, seen after the plugin establishes a CONNECT tunnel through the proxy. Mirrors Kong/kong-ee#20923. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Note: these two files are normally auto-synced from kong-ee source, so this is a manual stopgap to get the correction live now rather than waiting on the next sync job.
