X2Go Client has a not very well tested patch for HTTPs proxying  
(instead of SSH proxying) included. However, this requires a recent  
libssh (IIRC >= 5.x) version.

I have also done a quick test against a non-transparent proxy that  
does not require authentication. The session startup failed with this  
setup. I will Cc: the provider of that patch in this mail.

@Heinrich: you provide this patch [1]. Do you have any clue on the  
status of this patch? Does it work in one of your setups?


Greets,
Mike
