I can't see why this must be so. HTTPS can be proxied with Squid which
"somehow" handles the crypto stuff after reading the client's "CONNECT
...", and digging into FTP+SSL suggests that the control channel could
be used to break end-to-end encryption into two pieces, originating or
terminating at the gateway machine.  Eg. the client says "AUTH TLS" to
start negotiating SSL...
