I don't think this worth investigating. See RT's link[1]:
"Unfortunately, popular modern browsers do not permit configuration of
TLS/SSL encrypted proxy connections. "
and
"The Chrome browser is able to connect to proxies over SSL connections
if configured to use one in a PAC file or command line switch. GUI
configuration appears not to be possible (yet)."
as well as
"[Firefox:] There are bugs open for many years against this browser"

Thus, if it's not supported by any browser it's very unlikely an admin
will set up a _HTTP_ proxy using SSL.

Cheers
Morty
