I've tried this approach already, but it wouldn't work with proxy

True, authentication is a problem. You may want to look at the
websocket code, which has solved that problem too. Upgrading to SSL
would actually work, if you use the "starttls" socket type and then
call nsISSLSocketControl::StartTLS once you want to initiate SSL. You
can get the socket control object from
nsISocketTransport::GetSecurityInfo.

I tried to do that as well, but the problem is that the server I connect to sends data over the socket once the connection is established. The data is then interpreted as content of the HTTP OK reply from proxy in nsHttpTransaction and it is too late to call StartTLS.
