The problem I am having, and why I asked the question, is that when non-HTTPS SSL traffic tries to go through our security suite, it gets blocked because the proxy is set to only allow HTTPS traffic through on port 443.  So, what we are trying to do is determine whether the traffic is HTTPS or not before we put it in the enclave behind the proxy so we know whether or not to keep it on 443 or change it to another port designated for SSL non-HTTPS traffic.

Any suggestions on how this can be achieved?
