nuqneH,

I run spearate CONNECT-only proxy. That has pretty good side effect:
many programs that use CONNECT to reach their servers (like ICQ) then
try to use the same port/host to GET some banners and other unwanted stuff..
but.. wait.. you asked for SSL proxy, you get it. And nothing more ;-)

Speaking of SSL, there is standard CONNECT method (which is no better,
just the proxy is more simple than socks)


I can't agree with that, sock is extraordinarily simple, I've yet to
see an HTTP proxy that was as simple. If nothing else HTTP is more
complex to parse.
