title: Connecting a socket through a Proxy in ActionScript 3
body: <p>1) How would I connect through a proxy if I am using the Socket class to connect to a server?</p>
  
  <p>2) If I am running my Flex application through Flash Player in a webbrowser and my webbrowser is configured to use a proxy, does the socket connection go through the proxy automatically?</p>
  
  <p>Ideally, I would like to <strong>not</strong> have to depend on the web browser's settings, and be able to programmatically proxy the connection from my own code.  By supporting proxies directly, I can compile it as a desktop AIR application and still support proxying the connection.  Additionally, there may be cases where more than one socket connection will need to be created to different proxies.</p>
