The HTTP meaning of transparent is purely semantically transparent, not
network transparent.
The industry have settled for not using the word transparent alone any
more, but instead "semantically transparent" for the HTTP meaning and
"transparent interception" for the more commonly used meaning of
"transparent".
The ability to spoof the proxied connection using the original client ip
would be "fully transparent interception" I guess. But it was not an
option when these terms was discussed some (several) years ago.
