Classification:
I have the latest version of ICQ for windows... and the different proxy settings that
are available are as follows.... SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and HTTPS..... only HTTPS actually
works.....
This is partially what I am basing my understanding on......
All other applicatiosn with SOCKS5 support that I have tried... have failed to
work......
SocksCap32 sounded like a dream... but is yet another dead-end......
Perhaps there are some basic questiosn u can ask me, that I can answer that will
clarify the situation. I am willing to have a go if u are.......
This is my understanding........
work: VNCClient
firewall: NON-TRANSPARENT
home: VNCServer
With a socks capable client or a program such as SocksCap32 I can opena socket through
the firewall.....
However I then run into SOCK version issues, SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTPS........
The only program I have found with HTTPS socket support is ICQ, which will get past
the firewall... but nothing else has.......
Specification for settings are as follows (for icq):
host: pixs00
port : 8080
username: briscoe
pass: *
That is about as much as I understand.

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.
layer protocol proxy/gatweway
