1.1       misho       1: Long: connect-to
                      2: Arg: <HOST1:PORT1:HOST2:PORT2>
                      3: Help: Connect to host
                      4: Added: 7.49.0
                      5: See-also: resolve header
                      6: ---
                      7: 
                      8: For a request to the given HOST1:PORT1 pair, connect to HOST2:PORT2 instead.
                      9: This option is suitable to direct requests at a specific server, e.g. at a
                     10: specific cluster node in a cluster of servers. This option is only used to
                     11: establish the network connection. It does NOT affect the hostname/port that is
                     12: used for TLS/SSL (e.g. SNI, certificate verification) or for the application
                     13: protocols. "HOST1" and "PORT1" may be the empty string, meaning "any
                     14: host/port". "HOST2" and "PORT2" may also be the empty string, meaning "use the
                     15: request's original host/port".
                     16: 
                     17: A "host" specified to this option is compared as a string, so it needs to
                     18: match the name used in request URL. It can be either numerical such as
                     19: "127.0.0.1" or the full host name such as "example.org".
                     20: 
                     21: This option can be used many times to add many connect rules.
