It looks like your https proxy told you "Proxy Error ( SSL port specified
is not allowed. )"

Presumably this means that your https proxy only allows you to ask for
certain SSL ports.

See the third paragraph of
http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#HttpProxy

Is there some way we can make this clearer for the next person? Since
every https proxy probably has its own error strings (and heck, probably
some use 502 and some use other error numbers), it's probably hard for
us to automatically detect the error string and explain to the user what
it means.

I guess my only idea is to force you to read every line in that FAQ
entry. :)

Hope that helps,
