It's transparent. Firefox works fine through it (both HTTP and HTTPS), and ssh 
works fine through it. Except that it's slow and tends to drop packets and 
randomly reset connections, so I frequently have to retry.

HTTPS can't prevent a proxy from dropping packets, including all packets after 
a certain number of bytes for the connection. It also doesn't prevent bogus 
reset packets, though a properly-designed secure transport protocol (i.e. not 
SSL) could prevent them.

Did you get the partially-cloned repository files that I posted?
