It should be able to.  Check out:
        http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_proxy.html#allowconnect

By default the apache proxy server supports HTTP and HTTPS proxy.

That said, this could still easily be a bug in the ssl.3 patch.  (I didn't
write the patch, I just updated it).  SSL was really hacked in to 3.1.5 so
it might be getting royally confused with the whole https to an http proxy
server.

... I hate to say it, but can you try installing the 3.2.0 beta 4 snapshot
and let me know if it still doesn't work.  The 3.2.0 beta 4 snapshot
includes the SSL connection stuff and is not quite so much of a hack.

Hope that helps,
        Joshua
