Hi,

I'm wondering if the company I work for can see what I'm doing when I'm using a HTTPS connection - gmail for example.

My case: I'm using gmail from work but I need to enter a password for a proxy when accesing the first web page - the password is asked inside the browser. I receive from the proxy a certificate which I must accept in order to make the Internet connection work.

So the question is: Can https data exchange, between gmail and browser, be tracked?

Thanks,

Iulian
