You can do this using a proxy.pac, if you want to make all https
traffic direct then just match the start of the URL string for "https"
and return "DIRECT" as the proxy method. If it is a single site that
is causing the pain then just match that site. Be wary of making the
proxy.pac too complex though, the thing gets evaluated on every URL
lookup so it may affect browser performance if it is too unwieldy.
