 * I am trying to use the WP Offload S# Lite plugin, but I cannot get it to use 
   a proxy for HTTPS connections to the S3 API. I assume it uses the Amazon Web 
   Services plugin for S3 operations, and this is where the problem lies.
 * I have added the following lines to wp-config.php, and my reading of the code
   in wp-includes/class-wp-http-curl.php is that it should set the curl options 
   CURLOPT_PROXY etc. when these are set.
 *     ```
       define('WP_PROXY_HOST', 'http://myproxy');
       define('WP_PROXY_PORT', '3128');
       ```
   
 * Is there something I’m missing?
