You can set individual proxies for each protocol. For example, if your network has a proxy devoted to the ftp protocol named "CorpFTP" and it uses port 123, you can set it as:
Inet1.Proxy = "ftp=CorpFTP:123"
You can specify multiple gateways by separating each with a space. For example, if your HTTP proxy is named "CorpHTTP", and uses port 131, set both protocols this way:
Inet1.Proxy = "ftp=CorpFTP:123 HTTP=CorpHTTP:131"
If you do not specify which protocol you are trying to set, the same proxy will be used for all protocols. For example, the proxy named below will be used even the protocol is http:
Inet1.Proxy = "CorpFTP:123"
