Explanation
The HTTPConnect method connects to the HTTP(S) server. This method can only be executed from the client computer. It does not operate on the server. After this method has connected to the HTTP(S) server, it is possible to use the HTTPGetFileEx and the HTTPPutFileEx methods.
When not using a proxy server set the ProxyName to an empty string.
