If you change your SSH server to listen on 443 you'll probably be

most likely it will not.... or at least, this just half of the job.

An http-proxy can be made to just pass the packets to another machine
with the "connect"-method. (just telnet to your http-proxy port and
enter "connect rem.ote.mach.ine port")

In a lot of setup (including my own) the connect-method is only allowed
to port 443, so your ssh-server should listen on that port.

But you still need a software which connects to the http-proxy and
tells it to pass this connection along using the connect-method.

There's one: http://zippo.taiyo.co.jp/~gotoh/ssh/connect.html
I use it for exactly this job under Linux. connect.c can be compiled
for Windows too, but I don't know wheter you can make putty using this
connect-command. I have no Windows machine here to test this, but maybe
in 13 hours.
