    --  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.

    --  traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.
