That is not correct. Proxies can be used with SSL, even proxies with =
authentication can be used. They use a special HTTP method, CONNECT, =
which instructs the proxy to simply create a tunnel from the client =
browser to the server. If the proxy wishes, it can require a =
username/password for proxy access. In large companies, this is common =
practice to avoid unauthorized internet access.
