   I am curious about why are you having to mess with a proxy at all?   
   I thought your client app would specify a web address, for either a web page or   
   a web service, and make its request. If there is some proxy-stuff going on   
   behind the scenes to get you connected to that address, so what?   
   If one of the users enters www.google.com in a browser, presumably they get   
   taken to that site, regardless of the hoops in between. How is your app   
   different?   
   I would actually like to know, since I am embarking on some corporate web   
   development, and may be running through proxies in some cases.
