+ 3.12 Why do FTP specific features over HTTP proxy fails?
+
+ Because when you use a HTTP proxy, the protocol spoken on the network will
+ be HTTP, even if you specify a FTP URL. This effectively means that you
+ normally can't use FTP specific features such as ftp upload and ftp quote
+ etc.
+
+ There is one exception to this rule, and that is if you can "tunnel through"
+ the given HTTP proxy. Proxy tunneling is enabled with a special option (-P)
+ and is generally not available as proxy admins usuable disable tunneling to
+ other ports than 443 (which is used for HTTPS access through proxies).
