hello all

i have question about proxy server and useing vdsipp dll.. how would you make it work thru a proxy server? i know how to make it work without a proxy server BUT i haven't figure how to make it work with one Sad

what i mean is lets say my I.E is set to uses a proxy server and the setting in there is adress 192.168.1.1 and port is 8080 ( if i don't have this set i don't get internet) now how can i make vdsipp work?

thanks

I think you have to connect to your proxyserver, and then have to send the right commands. Which they are, I don't know. Maybe you should search for the right RCF...

I don't know Skit... I think you might be able to read whether the proxy is enabled from the registry, and if it is then read the proxy address and port from the registry and pass that info to vdsipp.dll and have the extension take care of it (at least for HTTP). I don't know though, since I've never tried to use a proxy with vdsipp.dll before.

hummm i was thinking if i knew what the command would be then a person could have a button that would let the user enter in the info no need to have it read from registry. hummmmm

You could do that as well... here's the info to use an HTTP proxy with vdsipp.dll from the help file:

hummmm ok i see that but how would i make it uses the poxxy and have vdsipp go to www.whatever.com?

that is what i don't follow

I think that once you use the proxy command you should be able to use the other HTTP commands and functions normally. I believe that vdsipp.dll will send all communications through the specified proxy. Again, I'm not sure but perhaps Prakash could clarify this issue for us. Ummm... calling SuperTux! Help!!! Very Happy

kk i hope Prakash will read this thread Smile

also to how do you find out what version the socks is? or can you leave it blank? if you leave it blank will it work on all proxy server?

thanks

Hi Tim6389,

I am not sure what version of Windows you are on but under Windows 2000 with Internet Explorer 5.x you can check the proxy settings from the registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

I am not sure but I believe this is true for all versions of Windows Question

mindpower - yea that i don't know BUT i think it would be best to have the user enter the info in..this way it would work on all version...
