Yes.

There is no way to read requests/responses in any proxy that tunnels,
it's not related to Jetty.

When you have a proxy and perform an HTTPS request, the client
establish an encrypted tunnel via the proxy to the target server.
The proxy just acts as an opaque byte transferrer and as such it
cannot even know if what the client is sending is actually encrypted
HTTP (could be another protocol like WebSocket), it cannot decrypt it,
and therefore cannot invoke servlet filters.
