Any decent proxy server accepts the CONNECT method, which means that it
basically passes the data through after validating the hostname - i.e.
GMail handles its own SSL.
I believe that work is currently underway to make it possible for
multiple SSL-enabled hostnames to share a single IP address, but it will
probably be quite a few years before this is remotely common.
