Hmm, a quick google suggests that tracert won't allow you to specify port or protocol - you are stuck with ICMP - I take it you are using windows? You could try telnet it allows you to specify the port.

Code:

telnet webcache.blueyonder.co.uk 8080
Trying 195.188.152.6...                                            
Connected to webcache.blueyonder.co.uk (195.188.152.6).            
Escape character is '^]'.                                          
quit

Obviously using your own proxy and port number, just to see if it will connect - you won't be able to do anything if it does - type quit to exit.

Trying this on the above proxy and a random port just times out eventually so I doubt you will get any useful error message if it fails unfortunately, but you never know.
