Are the answers that propose CONNECT over-thinking the question? To connect to an HTTP application through a proxy, send an absolute URI (RFC 2616) to the proxy. For example, if the application server is app.com and the proxy server is proxy.com, send this request to proxy.com: GET http://app.com/the-rest-of-the-URI HTTP/1.1 Host: app.com [more headers] ...
