Ok, that clears things up, thanks. Forget about Socks. Socks is
an entirely different kind of proxy (altough it can be used for
HTTP too). You're dealing with a HTTP proxy.
In theory you van use a HTTP proxy only for HTTP. In practice you
can tunnel other protocols over HTTP, or just use a HTTP proxies
abilility to relay SSL. By going down this road, you may be
breaking your company security policy, so I hope you know what
you're doing.
http tunnel tools:

http://www.htthost.com/
You can *not* use my java viewer, because that does not support
proxy authentication, although it would be trivial to implement.
I will probably add that along with some other enhancements, if I
ever get to it.
