If you are using proper forward proxy mode and CONNECT requests then
teh proxy has nothign to do with the HTTPS. All the proxy does is open
a TCP connection to the server and pump bytes back and forth between
client and server machines.
 Anything related to te connection TLS is strictly between the client
and server software which are communicating over that tunnel.
