mmittiga17 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

quick question I hope. Is there a way to connect to an external sftp box if you first have to go through a local http proxy? I have a script that works to push and pull files via sftp but now I need to make the ssh connection to the sftp box route through a proxy. I have been searching high and low for a solution. Also, the proxy requires user authentication. Any help will be appreciated.
