Ah. I was forgetting you had a proxy. I've no idea how HTTP SSL
proxies work in reality. You've got a working proxy, so you could try
a web browser suitably configured and ethereal, and see what it's
doing? Or check if the proxy supports RFC 2817, and implement that
(apparently web clients don't)?

Sorry, my fault. I had read "proxy" but somehow forgot it.
