No, the update from v6 to v7 with Ansi compilers should be no problem, TPopCli got minor interface changes but that's all, AFAIK. Only make sure that the compiler/linker doesn't find and mix v6 with v7 source and .obj files. The installation procedure changed, just read the readme. -- Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be

If the server behind the proxy requires authentication set properties Username, Password and ServerAuth. If the proxy requires authentication set properties ProxyUsername, ProxyPassword and ProxyAuth. Both proxy and server might support multiple authentication types. Event BeforeAuth (ICSv7) triggers for each type they support. Note that NTLM and Digest require persistent connections to work, forgot to mention that yesterday. That means properties ProxyConnection and/or Connection should be set to "keep-alive" at least with HTTP v1.0. > > As I'm unable to mimic an NTLM network from my workplace I need to, > reluctantly, ask one of our our customers to test for us.

There are free NTLM proxies downloadable from the internet. A member of this list suggested this one: 3proxy (http://3proxy.ru/board/?l=EN) Console app with manually edited conf files, but in part of auth settings are quite simple -- Arno Garrels -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: [twsocket] THttpCli for NTLM
Arno,
Thanks very much for the prompt reply. One further question. When setting
HttpCli for NTLM is it also necessary to set/pass the username and password, as
would be done for a proxy server setup e.g. HttpCli->ProxyUsername &
HttpCli->ProxyPassword.
As I'm unable to mimic an NTLM network from my workplace I need to,
reluctantly, ask one of our our customers to test for us. This is the reason I
am getting as much info as possible on the HttpCli NTLM parameters/setup.
Regards,
D'Arcy

As far as I recall there is no difference except for the authentication type
"HttpCli->ProxyAuth = httpAuthNtlm". If that does not work it might help to set
property Agent to some Microsoft browser. There are proxies around which
provide NTLM only to MS browsers.

[twsocket] THttpCli for NTLM
Hi,
I have an client weather application that downloads forecast data from our
server, on request, and need to cater for as many client network configurations
as possible. The app can successful download using HTTP Proxy, both No
Authentication and Basic Authentication however I am having problems with NTLM.
To be frank, I'm not sure which THttpCli params/vars I need to set, on the
client side, in order to allow the app to connect to the internet and therefore
our server. In particular what format the username and password should be
passed.
I have included a basic code snippet below. Any help greatly appreciated.
if( CommOptionsPtr->UseHTTPProxy )
{
if( CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyAuth == pxaNone ||
CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyAuth == pxaBasic )
{
HttpCli->Proxy = CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxy;
HttpCli->ProxyPort = CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyPort;
}
if( CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyAuth == pxaBasic )
{
HttpCli->ProxyUsername = CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyUser;
HttpCli->ProxyPassword = CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyPass;
}
if( CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyAuth == pxaNTLM ) //*what params to
set for this condition***
{
HttpCli->ProxyAuth = httpAuthNtlm;
HttpCli->Proxy = "*" + CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyUser + "*" +
CommOptionsPtr->HTTPProxyPass;
}
}
