It then does its communication via sockets.
Do you mean via tcp using "open socket"? One might infer from the above IP address and port that it is tcp to an http port.
I understand that the first request may not work if "httpProxy" is not set
first. That is ok and I can change it.
My question is: Will my socket communication work normally thereafter or
does a proxy mess with it too?
No. Well, not with simply an "open socket" command. If it really is http, then you need to open the port at the proxy. (Well, some firewalls will forward requests to its proxy, so... maybe.)
If it is not http, then you will likely have to deal with the firewall and firewall keepers.
Unfortunately I don't have a proxy to test with.
Maybe somebody has figured out how to provide that service.
