REST through HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect through an HTTP proxy to make REST API calls. Xojo Plugin

// 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.
// This is because an HTTP proxy used for other protocols (IMAP, SMTP, SSH, FTP, etc.) 
// can require some internal differences in behavior (i.e. how we do things).

// Other properties exist for specifying a proxy login, password, and authentication method (such as NTLM),
// but these are not used in this example.
