Hi Jonas,
The message is in XML format, this not a HTTP message. Can you give an idea
of how to establish a SSL connection with remote computer through proxy.
Thanks for reponse.
Regards,
Naveen

If you're not using HTTP to communicate with the destination computer,
you'll need to establish an SSL session with the destination computer. If
you send anything besides HTTP messages in plain-text, the proxy will most
likely consider it illegal and close your session.

Also, be aware that most proxies don't honor the Proxy-Connection:
Keep-Alive header. You'll need to send some form of data periodically to
protect yourself from having the proxy tearing down your connection.

Cheers,
