This document defines a new Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) option, which can be used to configure the TCP/IP host's
Proxy Server configuration for standard protocols like HTTP, FTP,
NNTP, SOCKS, Gopher, SLL and etc. Proxy Server provides controlled
and efficient access to the Internet by access control mechanism
for different types of user requests and caching frequently accessed
information (Web pages and possibly files that might have been
downloaded using FTP and other protocols).

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-senthil-dhc-proxyserver-opt-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
