+### Connecting through the HTTP Proxy server ###
+
+websocket-sharp supports to connect through the HTTP Proxy server.
+
+If you would like to connect a WebSocket server through the HTTP Proxy server, you should set the proxy server URL, and if necessary, a pair of user name and password for the proxy server authentication (Basic/Digest), using the `WebSocket.SetHttpProxy (string, string, string)` method before connecting.
+
+```cs
+var ws = new WebSocket ("ws://example.com");
+ws.SetHttpProxy ("http://localhost:3128", "nobita", "password");
+```
+
+I tested this with the [Squid]. And it's necessary to disable the following configuration option in **squid.conf** (e.g. `/etc/squid/squid.conf`).
+
+```
+# Deny CONNECT to other than SSL ports
+#http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
+```
+
