Hi, Anyone know how I can use things like getNettext when the computer uses a proxy server to access the internet. Do I need to use a 3rd party xtra like UltimateNetXtra, or is there a way with just normal director lingo (MX 04) Thanks Tim [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to

I've found that you can't use dynamic paths, as you normally would with Flash. You have to feed it the full file path. Here's what I use: -- on mSetCommunicatorPath me rootPath = the moviePath if (the platform contains win) then repeat while offset(\, rootPath) 0

hi tim, look up proxyServer(serverType, ipAddress, portNum) in the help. you can either get the proxy server's IP from the registry (pc, require's some (free) xtra; on the mac there is propably some comand to use with shell xtra), or let the user specify it manually. valentin Tim

Thanks for that Valentin, Duck, I actually stumbled across the proxyserver function after my post, But looks like a client requires user\pass authentication on the proxy server as well, so may need the xtra Duck suggested, although I also found UntimateNetXtra as well which seems to be a better

Hi Tim, If you are in the following situation, NetLingo won't do the job (it'll do otherwise): - You want or have to support access through proxy server that requires authentication. - You don't have access to the proxy server address and/or don't want to impose your user to enter this

Basic realm authentication should work. Just send your username:password as a base64 encoded string as an Authorization: Basic header. Guess that's why called basic authentication. :) -- Cole At 5:45 PM +0100 11/23/05, Valentin Schmidt wrote: I wonder if (depending on the authorization

I don't think you can. The way the authentication is handled, independantly from the authentication scheme is, that way: - prerequisite : any access to an http resource throug a proxy that require authentication has to be done with the Keep connection alive flag set on. - The client issues first a

Propably I'm the only one interested in this :-) But anyway, I've checked it out, it's really very easy to do this for basic authentication. You only have to add one more HTTP-header line: Proxy-Authorization Basic YWRtaW46Zm9v where YWRtaW46Zm9v is a base64 encoded string of username:password

addendum: digest authentication (RFC 2617) would be a little bit more complicated, but totally doable as well, all you need is a md5 calculation, and there are good md5 implementations in lingo that are fast enough for those tiny strings required for authentication. Valentin Schmidt wrote:
