Comment(by frqs37):

 Here are configuration tests that I tried and various results I got:

 - Corp is using proxy server that MUST be set to http://www-
 proxy.xxx.xx.com:80 and is not allowing SSL tunneling on port 5050
 - If proxy server is set in browser config: browsers can access both http
 and https web sites
 - If proxy server is set in Yahoo Messenger: we can use YM for chatting

 so what configuration in Pidgin did I try and what were the results?

 CONFIG 1:
 Proxy:  www-proxy.xxx.xxx.com port 80
 Pager scsa.msg.yahoo.com port 5050
 Use account proxy for SSL connections - checked
 Results:  Access Denied: HTTP proxy server forbids port 5050 tunneling

 This is the log file:

 CONFIG 2:
 Proxy:  www-proxy.xxx.xxx.com port 80
 Pager scsa.msg.yahoo.com port 80
 Use account proxy for SSL connections - checked
 Results:  Server closed the connection

 This is the log file:

 CONFIG 3:
 tried taking out "Use account proxy for SSL connections" checkbox
 No change in results


 Considering this issue has been opened 3 years ago, is there a possible
 ETA?
 Thank you much
