Details

When doing https via a proxy (build 2001040421), Moz seems to be connecting to
the proxy and doing:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Proxy-Authorization: Basic someauthenticationinfo
Host: www.somesite.com

Which doesn't seem to be working with my proxy.  Netscape 4 sends:

CONNECT www.somesite.com HTTP/1.0

(I'm not an expert on the proxy protocol, but that implies that Mozilla is
sending the wrong data doesn't it?)
I don't know if this is related, but

Windows NT Version 4.0 ( Build 1381: Service pack 4)
accessing via proxy server ( at w@rk )
build id: 20010040604

browser times out attempting to access a secure server

my case:  The operation timed out when attempting to contact www.amazon.com 
I am experiencing the same problem with build 2001040604 running on Windows 98
SE.  Normal browser requests through the proxy server seem to work fine, but SSL
through a proxy seems to be broken.  I have specifically experienced the problem
when trying to view the site www.bplorraine.fr : I receive the message, "The
connection was refeused when attempting to contact www.bplorraine.fr"...  In
Netscape 4.75 this site works as expected.
could this be the return of Bug 31174?
