Hi Victor,

We don't have any plans to support SSH over a HTTP Proxy at this stage. 
Komodo is using Paramiko for it's SSH handling, which does not support 
proxying.

Since there is few requests for this feature, and there is already a 
workaround - using SSH tunneling, it's hard to justify the development 
time needed to add such a feature.

If you wanted, you could also look into adding Proxy support, using the 
Open Komodo sources (all the source code is available):

Cheers,
Todd
