I know it is possible to ssh through proxy CONNECT. The problem is
that on my home machine (the only I have access to) there is an https
server running at 443. And I do not want to remove it. And this damn
proxy allows CONNECT to 443 only!

I am sure I will find a solution. Maybe httptunnel will do but I think
it is not the best option.

Yes, I will take a look at this issue.
