The "stellar" HTTP decoder plugin identifies HTTP CONNECT-method proxy tunnels (httpd_tunnel_identify) and, once a successful CONNECT response is observed, re-enters the payload as a nested HTTP stream (tracking tunnel_state transitions through session exdata) so that traffic carried inside an HTTP CONNECT tunnel continues to be parsed as HTTP rather than treated as opaque bytes — i.e. the DPI follows through simple HTTP-proxy tunneling rather than losing visibility at the CONNECT boundary.
