Mike, I am afraid things are a bit more complicated than that. HttpClient always uses a plain socket to establish connection with a proxy. As far as I understand so do IE & Mozilla. I think what Ulrich is trying to do is to connect to the proxy using SSL, which is quite unconventional I have to say. clearly, HttpClient can't do that

I guess that's the question. I certainly agree that we do not support CONNECT over SSL but I am unsure if that's what Ulrich is trying to do. The latest version of the draft specifying CONNECT (that I could find) indicates that the CONNECT is to be done over plain old HTTP <http://www.web-cache.com/Writings/Internet-Drafts/draft-luotonen-web-proxy-tunneling-01.txt>.
