Summary of the Pull Request

Adds a new proxy rule that detects base64-encoded http:// / https:// strings embedded in request URIs (e.g. query parameters). This technique is used by phishing kits and open-redirect / C2 staging pages to smuggle a destination URL past naive domain/URL blocklists, since the payload is only readable after decoding. The rule covers all three base64 byte-alignments (offset mod 3) for each scheme, so the encoded URL is matched regardless of its position within the surrounding parameter.
