Eclipse and RDS Support Over HTTPS

I ran into a little bit of a problem today and I was wondering if possibly someone has encountered the same problem and found a solution for it. I have a client that needed a quick fix on a web site today. No worries, I fire up my trusty Eclipse editor and proceed to setup an RDS connection. Their network requires connecting to the server via HTTPS so in my RDS configuration I set it to use port 443 for communicating with the server, but every time I try to connect to the server it just times out.

I ended up getting the connection working with Homesite+ as there is an option to use HTTPS as well as being able to set the port. I would much rather use Eclipse though since all my tools are there.

Has anyone solved this? If so, any help would be appreciated.
