Hello all,
        I have a question I need some guidance on.
        I have built this app using OpenSSL for transport and a protocol of my
design to transfer the data it is similar to HTTP.  Any way at the moment I
am running it over port 1977.  However, in most networks this port is going
to be locked; however from experience 99% of companies will at a minimum
have either 443 and 80 open or they will be proxied.  I want to verify if my
understanding of using SSL over a proxy is correct.  This is what I have
gathered from doing some packet sniffing:

client:
CONNECT SERVER:PORT HTTP/1.0
Proxy-authorization: Basic Base_64(USER:PASS)
\n\n

server:
connection OK

client then does all SSL sends and Recv's to the proxy.

is this about all there is to it.  I have looked on google and no one can
give me a clear definition of proxy auth at least not at a protocol level.
I basically want to make my program so that pretty much no matter what I can
connect out to the net, and this seems like it would be a good step in that
direction.

Thank you in advance.
