Probably best explained by the code... it just uses HTTP for the initial
setup -- a CONNECT request with an HTTP cookie for authentication, and
you get IP address etc. in the headers of the response. Then you're
connected with an SSL connection, you can forget HTTP, and run IP
packets over that connection. 

In the headers of the initial exchange you _also_ set up parameters for
a DTLS connection, over which you can pass packets.
