I've done this. (in essance)
I have a squid proxy at home running on port 80, it is configured to
allow HTTPS/CONNECT requests from IPs that I provide.
Using that, I can use putty's proxy settings to connect using an
HTTPS/CONNECT pipe.
Basically when Putty connects, any firewall will assume it's a regular
https request and in most cases, they're allowed.
