AFAIK, with just an http proxy, you are stuck with http.

If your company provides a SOCKS proxy (a big if, I know), then you can
forego http and always use git. You'd need to set up a SOCKS client
(dante or tsocks), do a little configuration and then if you are behind
the firewall, you'd do e.g. ``socksify git pull'', rather than ``git pull''.
