Congrat. for your handy SocketProxy Class(very clean code...)

The ProxyType member can be set to either none, socks4, or socks5, but there is no ProxyType.HTTP...

I'm working on a client app needing to have a socket remaining connected to a server in the "outside world" thru an HTTP proxy (tunneling). very similar to MSN Messenger or any other chat client...

How can I proceed? Is it even possbile to keep a socket connected under HTTP?

I found a trick on the web to full the proxy, pretending your are establishing a HTTPS connection, but transferring non text data instead, is it a track I should follow or is it only a work around?

Here is the link I refer to above:

Thanks a lot.
