How much does the code using the Socket depend on its 'interface'? Perhaps it 
would be happy with (say) just getInputStream() and getOutputStream() on an 
already connected Socket.  If so, then perhaps you can connect to the proxy 
explicitly, send "CONNECT" yourself, and parse the response header.  If all 
goes okay, hand the socket as is over to the 'using' code, and it won't know 
the difference.
