Much of the reason for the difference is that the document you found  
is old.  I am not sure if there really is any up to date document  
other than the code, but I have run across this wiki from time to  
time: http://joust.kano.net/wiki/oscar/moin.cgi/  I only recognize  
the information over the wire because I have read so much of the code  
and seen so many traces.

IIRC, using an HTTP proxy means that you connect to the proxy using  
HTTP, and tell it where you wish to connect, and upon completion of  
the connection, then the socket is treated in the same manner as if  
there were no proxy at all.  This means the protocol over HTTP should  
be the same (minus the Proxy setup).

Since you seem to have some experience with HTTP proxies...  Perhaps  
you could help me with a question.  In the code, we have support for  
SOCKS proxies for most of the services (including AIM), and can add  
support for the HTTP proxy, but I am not sure on a few details in the  
system preferences.  You can set an web proxy, but I don't know if  
fire should be honoring this setting or is this just for web browsers?
