It does if you enable --bb-proxy-syntax on xymonnet
Adhere to the Big Brother syntax for a URL, which allows specifying a HTTP proxy as part of a URL. See *"HTTP Testing via proxy"* in the /hosts.cfg <https://xymon.state.ak.us/xymon/help/manpages/man5/hosts.cfg.5.html>;(5) / file for details. Beginning with Xymon 4.3.0, this behaviour is disabled by default since URL's that include other URL's are now much more common. This option restores the old Big Brother-compatible behaviour.
which then lets you supply the URL to be tested as the "path" of the test sent to the proxy
xymonnet supports the Big Brother syntax for specifying an HTTP proxy to use when performing http tests. This syntax just joins the proxy- and the target-URL into one, e.g.
http://webproxy.sample.com:3128/http://www.foo.com/
would be the syntax for testing the www.foo.com website via the proxy running on "webproxy.sample.com" port 3128.

Hello Xymoners,
Has anyone developed a test for an https url through a proxy? if yes can you share it?
(The current built-in test with Xymon doesn't support it, as far as I know)
Many thanks
Bruno
