urllib2 not support proxy on SSL connection?

Are you sure this a proxy which is accessed by https, or rather a proxy that 
supports CONNECT, and thus allows you to access https-sites? I'd guess the 
latter, which I haven't gotten to work with urllib2 so far.

AFAICT, that's why you get an unknown protocol error from the SSL library, 
because the proxy starts a plaintext session, and urllib2 expects an SSL 
session (which you try to use to access the proxy, because you specify https 
as the proxy URL), and so doesn't know what to do with the data it gets.

I'd guess you'd have to rethink what you're doing here...
