    ; 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

    ; traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

    ; if not already connected.  The connection will remain

    ; calls do not need to re-establish the connection.

    ; proxy.
