    // 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.

    socket.put_HttpProxyPort(3128);

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

    // Connect (via the HTTP proxy) to port 5555 of 192.168.1.108.
    // hostname may be a domain name or IP address.
    String hostname = "192.168.1.108";

    // The ficticious server (in this example) is going to send a "Hello World!" 
    // message.  Read it:
    String receivedMsg = socket.receiveString();
