The dialogue between client, proxy and server goes something like:
* Client connects to proxy, and sends CONNECT server:port.
* Proxy connects to server on port.
* Proxy returns 200 OK to client.
* Client and server send SSL handshake information to each other,
with the proxy just forwarding the raw data.
The proxy doesn't even need to know how SSL works - it just sets up
two TCP connections and forwards any data at all between them, be it
SSL version 1, 2 or 3, TLS, or ssh.
