FTP via HTTP

Subject:FTP via HTTP

In InternetOpen() there's a sentence: "FTP requests can be made through a
CERN type proxy either by changing them to an HTTP request...". How is this
done?

I'm trying to route an FTP download via a proxy that doesn't support FTP.
IE/Firefox can connect as an anonymous user and display the file, but my app
throws a 30 second time out CInternetException when calling
CInternetSession::GetFtpConnection().

System requirements are that the OS is 2000 or XP. Minimum IE 5.5 installed.
