Neither works with proxies that need authentication. Running a local
proxy that handles the authentication (e.g. squid) would work around
that. 

There are probably also some tunnelling utilities that will connect a
localhost port  through an HTTP CONNECT. If you can get that to work
it should give better performance since it will allow full pipelining.
