' To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
' and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
' and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
' HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.

' Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
' traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

' Connect to the SSH server through the HTTP proxy.
