I'm testing out using proxychains using a couple of free proxy servers and have the config file setup like this:

proxychains curl ifconfig.me/ip
[proxychains] config file found: /etc/proxychains4.conf
[proxychains] preloading /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxychains.so.4
error: invalid item in proxylist section: https 45.15.168.190   8888

When I try calling a network call via proxychains it throws this error:

$ proxychains curl ifconfig.me/ip
[proxychains] config file found: /etc/proxychains4.conf
[proxychains] preloading /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxychains.so.4
error: invalid item in proxylist section: https 45.15.168.190   8888

If I delete the HTTPS line, and call the same thing it returns without issue:

└─$ proxychains curl ifconfig.me/ip
[proxychains] config file found: /etc/proxychains4.conf
[proxychains] preloading /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libproxychains.so.4
[proxychains] DLL init: proxychains-ng 4.14
[proxychains] Strict chain  ...  45.15.168.238:8888  ...  ifconfig.me:80  ...  OK
45.15.168.238    

Does anyone know what's wrong here?
