Note that this code only tries to connect() to the given port.  It doesn't
actually prove there's a proxy/wingate at the address - if you point this
at www.microsoft.com, it will report 'MaYb Phun on p0rt: 80'.

Whether there is either fun or a proxy to be found at Microsoft is an open
question, but not one answered merely by connecting to port 80.
