Convert proxy connect request

Hi,

I am currently using some squid forwarding proxies to provide internet access to a number of desktops in a locked down vlan.

A new application is being deployed that will send a lot of requests to an external api.
My squid proxies are currently configured to perform user authentication.
What I would like to do is to intercept requests from certain ip’s going to certain urls and send them directly to the endpoint, bypassing the squid proxies.

simliar to:
frontend proxyin
bind *:8081
mode http
use_backend apihttp if { base_dom -i example.com }

default_backend proxyout

backend proxyout
mode http
server proxyout1 XX.XX.XX.XX:3128 maxconn 100 weight 10 check

backend apihttp
mode http
server apiserver1 XX.XX.XX.XX:443 check ssl verify none

The problem is that as the platforms are setup to talk via Proxy, the requests going to the api server are CONNECT requests that the oldish api platform doesn’t understand.

Is there any way to get HAProxy to replicate proxy functionality for these requests?

Thanks
