After attempting unsuccessfully to hack Drupal core to get https to run through a proxy... the best solution for me was to just ditch GoDaddy and move my site to a different hosting company. Besides not successfully hacking core, this was also because I didn't want to have to constantly worry about over-riding my custom code with every new release of Drupal. It's just much easier to move my site to a better company... especially since I wasn't all that crazy about their service.
