[Phpwm] Using Mysql Client with Proxy

[Jon Spriggs]

If you have direct access to the external SQL server, you could write
some form of tool to post your SQL query, sqlserver, username and
password over an HTTPS page, and then have it return the values in
some form of CSV or XML data stream, then use an FGET to read the
responses?
