title: Connect Twisted IRCClient through a http proxy
body: <p>I am playing around with Twisted and while trying to rewrite an old java IRC bot in Python (2.7), I built upon the <a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/core/howto/clients.html#auto6" rel="nofollow">IrcLogBot example</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I need to connect to the IRC server through a (non auth) HTTP proxy - but there does not seem to be any support for this neither in the irc.IRCClient or in reactor.connectTCP. Am I looking in the wrong places? Can I wrap my connection in some kind of proxy tunneler?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for any help!</p>
