Daniel,

Im sorry but I may not have been entirely clear with (2).

I used CURLOPT_URL then CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, but the problem is
after the connect sequence it will issue a GET, that's why I used
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST to change that GET into something not recognized
thus unparsable by the server/proxy.

I guess the proper question would be, is there a way to omit that GET
entirely and just leave me with the connected session?

Also, I might be wrong here but CURLOPT_PROXYTUNNEL doesn't seem to be defined.

Thanks

Allen
