Then it's a https site, and the appliet connects via the proxy
using the CONNECT method, right?

Sounds like a broken applet to me.
When using the CONNECT method there is a bidirectional tunnel opened
between the client and the requested web site. The proxy does not modify

keep-alive timeouts etc.
