REST through HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect through an HTTP proxy to make REST API calls. Chilkat2-Python

# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# This example connects to a REST server through an HTTP proxy.
# It will connect to the Amazon AWS service for this example.

# We want to tell the socket object that we're doing HTTP over the proxy connection.
