Danny, I don't think it's supported. The original proxy support only
included HTTP, not HTTPS. The ability to specify a proxy for https checks
appears to be so that the proxy can be sent a URL and will give a response,
thus testing the proxy, rather than the service at the URL. I don't think
there have been any updates to the code since (at least as of 4.3.30).
A bit more here:

Trying to get https testing working via proxy and works fine via curl but
xymon reports proxy 501 not implemented errors so I assume its showing up
malformed. I see in sourceforce release notes a fix from 4.2 > 4.2.2 for
this related to Debian but I am running above this (4.3.17)

Changes from 4.2.0 -> 4.2.2 ===========================
*) Patches from Debian and Mandriva source archives and
elsewhere have been merged, fixing: - The bb-hosts syntax for HTTP testing
via a proxy could not support https target-URL's (from Debian)
Thx in advance
