Proxy servers are usually made up of a web address and port number. Most ISPs use the port number of 8080. If your proxy was "www.proxy.com" and port was "8080" then you would use this to set the proxy:
HttpSetProxy(2, "www.proxy.com:8080")
Most proxy servers do not require a username and password.
