I'm.. half asleep at the moment, but if there are proxy's and
firewall's involved you have to change your code to accomodate them.
Browsers and the like take care of this invisibly, but with tcpclient
you'll have to do it manually.
I assume you're using the HTTP protocol?
Basically, you open an ip connection to the proxy, then do all your
GET, HEAD, POST operations with the full URL of the site you wish to
talk to. Simple as that.
That is, instead of:
<cfset obj.SendRN("GET /INDEX.HTML HTTP/1.0")>
<cfset obj.SendRN("")>
you'd:
<cfset obj.SendRN("GET http://www.houseoffusion.com/INDEX.HTML
HTTP/1.0")>
<cfset obj.SendRN("")>
Or at least that's how I remember it worked.

Oh. Just noticed your code. No wonder it just sits there. :) You
didn't send any HTTP commands to telling what the data you were
sending was. It should just sit there in that case, til it times out.
This a SOAP-friendly server I take it? Is that what you're trying to
do? Use SOAP I mean?
