This is very confusing. Your wrote:

I assumed you were dealing with a Socks proxy, that only
connected out on port 443 (and probably 80 too, but never mind
that). You _can_ use a Socks proxy for HTTP and HTTPS (=HTTP over
SSL). Socks knows nothing about things like HTTP and SSL, so
Socks proxies with specific HTTP(S)-support do not exist, AFAIK.
Hence my assumption you meant the HTTPS-port (443). Either way,
you can use a Socks proxy for rfb (VNC).
Now you're saying you need support for HTTPS proxies. That again
is somewhat confusing. Can you only surf secure sites? Probably
not. Maybe you are dealing with a HTTP proxy. In theory, you can
only use a HTTP proxy for HTTP (and HTTPS). In practice you can
tunnel other protocols over HTTP, or just use the proxies
SSL-relay for those other protocols.
The following may not be 100% accurate, but may help to clear
things up for those who find proxies and gateways confusing
anyway.
