Hi Thiago,

Thanks for your response.

Pardon my ignorance, but how and where do I issue such a command?  Is it
part of the QNetworkProxy configuration?

Thanks,

-jct

You override the type here.

HTTP proxies can handle HTTPS traffic too, by using issuing a 
	CONNECT hostname:443 HTTP/1.0
command.
