My point is that I need it to be SSL so that I can traverse the proxy 
without it being on another port other than 443. VPN etc use ports other 
than 443 and if you try to run on port 443 using another protocol.the 
proxy reports "Protocol <insert protocol name here> is not allowed on 
this port"

I don't have administrative control of the Proxy/Firewall and I know 
that http/ssl and http both are open but only by way of the proxy, ssh 
fails but I need the encryption of ssl.

I am trying to make a remote telnet style terminal of a web browser not 
in the mindterm java applet style but so that only key strokes and 
command out put are sent to and from the webserver via https and then 
executed on the webserver....  in a text only type of transfer.
