I would be alerted immediately, because I'm using the Petname Tool Firefox
plugin.
For an unproxied site, I get a small green window with my own choice of text in
it (e.g. "Gmail" if I'm visiting https://mail.google.com). If a proxy were to
insert itself in the middle, that window would turn yellow, and the message
would change to "(untrusted)".
