// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// 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.
loSftp.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
loSftp.HttpProxyPort = 3128

// 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.
