    //  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.
    //  The standard SSH port = 22
    //  The hostname may be a hostname or IP address.
