PHP SoapClient unable to access webservice over HTTPS when using proxy

Using SoapClient in PHP (version 5.3.10) I've come across a problem I have not been able to find a solution to.

The combination of HTTPS and Proxy for contacting the webservice is giving me some real pain. Is there a way to get this working?

Given the following setup:

$WSDL = 'https://(...).php?wsdl';

$params =  array(
    'proxy_host' => 'localhost',
    'proxy_port' => 3128
);

This works:

$client = new SoapClient($WSDL);
var_dump($client->__getFunctions());
var_dump($client->__call('someFunc', array()));

This gives error at some point:

$client = new SoapClient($WSDL, $params);
var_dump($client->__getFunctions());
var_dump($client->__call('someFunc', array()));

I've tried a few twists and hacks trying to narrow the problems:

From initializing a client with HTTPS-url to the wsdl and proxy enabled, PHP exits with the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception:
 [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'https://(...).php?wsdl' :
  failed to load external entity https://(...).php?wsdl

When initializing the client using a locally stored WSDL-definition file, PHP exits with the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception:
 [HTTP] Bad Request in test.php:19
 Stack trace: #0 [internal function]: SoapClient->__doRequest

From my perspective this looks lika a PHP bug, but hopefully there is a way around it.
Do I have to go to libraries such as NuSoap?
Is this fixed in another version of PHP?
Am I missing something?

I'm behind a firewall. I had to set the proxy and port in order to make my code work.

$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, [
        "trace" => 1,
        "exceptions" => 1,
        "proxy_host" => "PROXY_HOST_STRING",
        "proxy_port" => PROXY_PORT_NUMBER
    ]);

I had this problem when using Fiddler2 proxy on localhost. Had to export Fiddler's root certificate and explicitly set cafile option like this

$client = new SoapClient($url, [
        'proxy_host' => 'localhost', 
        'proxy_port' => 8888,
        'stream_context' => stream_context_create([ 
            'ssl' => [ 'cafile' => 'C:\path\to\FiddlerRoot.pem' ] ])
        ]);

... for the https access to service to be captured.

FiddlerRoot.pem is exported using certmgr.msc of DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot-CE entry in Personal store with Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) option.

I had to use a local copy of the wsdl file and I am using this options:

  array(
    'trace' => 1,
    'exceptions' => true,
    'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE,
    'proxy_host' => self::PROXY_HOST,
    'proxy_port' => self::PROXY_PORT,
    'proxy_login' => self::PROXY_USER,
    'proxy_password' => self::PROXY_PASS,
  )

Maybe the options trace or cache_wsdl will help you.
