Yup. Seems I forgot... :)
The approach is standard: Use the HTTP CONNECT method to get a tunnel through the proxy, and then send SSL on the same connection. It's covered in HTTP 1.1: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html#sec9.9
I've tested it on my local proxy, and a couple of HTTPS end points.
Thanks. I'll look into this and will likely integrate something like this into the next release.
Cheers, Edi.
