To use the CONNECT method you will have to enable what ports will be allowed
by the proxy.This is done in a different way in each proxy server so if you
want something that is the same on all servers you can also use
SOCKS,described in RFC 1928,1929.The code to do it is at
http://www.codeguru.com/internet/CSocksifiedSocket.htm
Hope this helps
