It makes libcurl do a CONNECT through a proxy to the target server+port and
then work as normal. The think to note is that hardly any proxies setup by
organizations and companies out there allow CONNECT to other ports than 443
and possibly a few others. Quite likely this is what made Naveen's program
fail...
