Answer 1

tunneling HTTPS through SSH (linux version):

1) turn off using 443 on localhost
2) start tunneling as root: ssh -N login@proxy_server -L 443:target_ip:443
3) adding 127.0.0.1 target_domain.com to /etc/hosts

everything you do on localhost. then:

target_domain.com is accessible from localhost browser.
