I'm not sure what it's called eactly... but say I have
 
1) mod_ssl and mod_proxy enabled apache web server. 
2) firefox/mozilla client. 

I want to use the proxy server normally to access a remote
site like http://www.yahoo.com... but I want to connect to 
it via the ssl enabled port ( 443 ) instead of the 'proxy' 
port.  i.e. I want my connection to the web server to be 
secured via ssl/https and I want it to then go out normal
to the remote site, retrieve the content and then send it 
back to me over the ssl/https port. 

Is that possible... and if so... what would that be 
called exactly? 

Thanks - jack
