I think it should clearly state it is asking for acceptance of the proxy
cert, when that is the cert being considered. Then if the destination host
cert is also unknown, it will ask for accpetance of that cert as well. So,
if you are using a new proxy and a new destination host, and both are using
SSL/TLS, you would get asked twice. (The proxy query has to come first
because it is forwarding your connection to the destination.)

So the message should say: Accept certificate for proxy "proxy.host.dom"
(a=always/y/N)?
