It does not usually. I know that with Squid (which we used at my
previous job), the HTTPS connexion was secure end-to-end--the only
thing the proxy did was the name resolution for the end user's
browser.

Jim, why do you think a proxy forces plaintext passwords with an HTTPS
proxy? I do not doubt you, just wondering if you have specific example
in mind.
