General advice on scraping with proxies.

[shabbysquire]

Probably a stupid question, but I'm looking to scrape a site that uses HTTPS protocol. Is it ok to scrape with normal HTTP proxies, or do I need HTTPS?

I ask as a proxy seller advises using HTTPS (same price as HTTP ones).

Thanks.

All HTTPS proxies will work with http:// sites
but not all HTTP prosies will work if https://
