[rtmpdump] [PATCH] HTTP Proxy Support

Hello,

The attached patch adds the ability to specify a HTTP proxy to be used 
for RTMPT.  This functionally requires only 2 changes:
1.  The hostname/port of the proxy needs to be used when establishing 
the connection instead of connecting directly to the target server.
2.  The POST request needs to specify the full absolute URL (i.e. server 
name and path name) instead of just the relative path name. 
Theoretically this should not be necessary because the proxy should use 
the hostname from the "Host:" header, but it seems that in practice this 
field is not honoured by at least some proxy implementations 
(e.g.Sun-Java-System-Web-Proxy-Server/4.0).

The remainder of the changes in the patch are to:
1.  Add a new command line argument (--http) to rtmpdump and rtmpgw to 
allow the HTTP proxy to be specified.
2.  Add a new struct (RTMPSockInfo) which is used to store target 
server, SOCKS proxy and HTTP proxy information so that they can be 
easily treated in a generic fashion.
