Since I am travelling I am not able to work on Win98 stuff directly so I switched to proxies.... Proxies are not quite as simple as we thought. First the proxy code is incorrect in some cases.... The case where there is an HTTP proxy that does not require a CONNECT call to be made. I.e. No HTTP Tunnelling. So I modified the code to make that option work. I need to think of it some more.... There appears to be 5 different proxy types: NONE, HTTP, HTTP_TUNNEL, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 Perhaps I missed something. In addition the proxy in use may not be more than a http/ftp passthru proxy. In that case the protocols, unless they are web based, will not work through a proxy unless it is HTTP_TUNNEL. In this case we need to be able to disable to the proxy unless its a web page. This will make using a proxy for the protocols extremely difficult. Any one else have any thoughts on this? Thanks, Edward -- elh <[email protected]>
