Hey TLS folks, Owen, Max, and I have been kicking around some ideas for how to make secure connections in environments where HTTPS is subject to MitM / proxying.
The below draft lays out a way to tunnel TLS over HTTPS, in hopes of creating a channel you could use when you really need things to be private, even from the local MitM. Feedback obviously very welcome. Interested in whether folks think this is a useful area in which to develop an RFC, and any thoughts on how to do this better.
