HTTP proxy mode uses the standard HTTP proxy protocol. Your client sends the full request to Proxy Hopper (including the target URL in the request line), Proxy Hopper picks an IP from the pool, forwards the request through it, and streams the response back. Proxy Hopper owns the full request lifecycle, enabling retries on failure and IP rotation on 429 or 5xx responses.
