To go through one, Claude Code first sends the proxy a request to open a tunnel, a direct connection to the destination. That request now includes the header `Connection: keep-alive`, which asks the proxy to keep the connection open instead of closing it.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you connect through an HTTP proxy, this may change how the proxy reuses connections.\n\n- Area: Internals\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
