Does the proxy require authentication? If not you can probably adapt
the Lisp or Dylan code I use for working through proxy servers. See:
http://www.double.co.nz/cl
http://www.double.co.nz/dylan
Look for the Dylan proxy-sockets or the Lisp Sockets package. The SSL
sockets package for both languages shows how to tunnel SSL through a
proxy.
It also depends on your proxy server. Do you know what it is? If it is
a Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 it might be using NTLM authentication
which is harder to work through. In that case I'd recommend using
something like an HTTP Proxy instead:
