.NET web service through proxy over HTTPS

I have developed one c# .NET client application which accesses .NET web service over HTTPS.
When I try to access it through the proxy (which needs each web request to have a user agent set as IE user agent), I can not access the web service.
I checked the HTTP header in ethereal and these are my observations:
1. With proxy if I access the web service though IE browser, CONNECT request has the user-agent field.
2. With proxy if I access the same web service through .NET client application , CONNECT request does not contain the user-agent field.

If I include user agent in SoapHttpClientProtocol , it gets applied to HTTP header but I can not modify or add something in the CONNECT request.

So is it a .NET framework limitation that it never includes user-agent information in the CONNECT request ?
Does anybody have any solution to this problem?
