Hal:
Heya. Have you tried EchoVNC? It has support for HTTP,
SOCKS, and NTLM proxies. For the first two, it relies on the
CONNECT method, which not all web-proxies support. But if your
target connection is listening to TCP 443 (ie, where HTTPS
traffic usually goes), the proxy will probably (as Phil pointed
out in his post) allow it. For EchoVNC, we run a demo echoServer
on both its normal port, and on TCP 443.
Hope that helps!
