Http proxy client connection

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello.

I want to initiate a http proxy client connection, then I want to start an OpenVPN session thru this http client connection.

In openvpn.ovpn/conf I have these entries:

<connection>
remote 80.255.7.98 142 
http-proxy 80.255.7.98 3128 stdin 
</connection>

Is that possible and which openwrt packages do I need for this?

You cannot send TCP down an HTTP proxy connection. It proxies HTTP commands, not packets.

Also, you may want to inform others reading this thread - that this is related to: OpenVPN with SSH tunnel to VPN Provider

So there is no way to get these openvpn.ovpn running? Is that correct?

Sorry for my questions, but I have no experience with it.

According to the manual, OpenVPN supports HTTP proxy.
But proxy server often limits destination port range and connection method.
Try to configure OpenVPN client and server to use 443/TCP.
Also some proxy servers may intercept and filter SSL based on SNI, others use MITM.
I guess you are out of luck in that case.
