Re: [twsocket] FTP through proxy not in transparent mode
Dave, Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. I have not tried connecting through this proxy myself as the customers customer is in Au, I'm in the UK. It's taken an age just to get to this point. ...Andy Dave Baxter wrote: I presume you're looking for this... ? http://proxy.wow.ag/proxyOnlyAnonymous.php?offset=0 There is a list of Transparrent proxies, if you look down the left of that page. I think they are Web/HTTP related, also needing the client to use a specific port to connect to the proxy with. I'm not sure you'll get any ordinary (even Pasv mode) FTP to work through them. WoW in this case is World of Webcams. And I suspect it's more for self disguise (hiding) as anything. Why does your user want to use such a proxy anyway? Just guessing here, but have you tried Pasiv mode? (If you don't try, you never know?) Cheers.

It's working great - no problems. However, a customer wants to use this application through his proxy (wowproxy), and it's not using transparent mode. So, anyone used this or similar combo? Can I get it to work? I googled wowproxy, but got lots of hits for world of warcraft - not really what I'm after.

Re: [twsocket] FTP through proxy not in transparent mode
Francois, Usually non transparent FTP proxies work by connecting to the proxy itself and then when asked username, entering the real user name followed by and @ and the remote server name. Sometimes the @ character is replaced by a # character. I was under the impression that this was how transparent proxies work, based on comments in the source: How to use a Proxy or Firewall ? First of all, not all proxies or firewalls are the same. So have a look at product documentation. However, most products support a transparent proxy which doesn't require any special programming: 1) Instead of connection to a remote FTP server, you connect to the proxy 2) User name is replaced by user name, followed by '@' sign then followed by target remote FTP server host name. 3) Password is usual remote FTP server password. 4) Most require using Passive mode. Example: You want to connect to ftp.borland.com, using anonymous connection, company firewall/proxy is running on host named proxyserver. FtpCli1.HostName := 'proxyserver'; FtpCli1.UserName := 'anonym...@ftp.borland.com'; FtpCli1.Password := 'your.em...@company'; FtpCli1.Passive := TRUE; Or am I getting muddled here? ...Andy -- francois.pie...@overbyte.be The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be -- 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 -- 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
[twsocket] Helpful OT: Hotfixes available for BCB2010
Hello, FYI, I was working hard on two bugs, one with tmeminifile and one within the RAM cache routine I authored in which I am not sure which component was problematic. After visiting the registered users page at http://edn.embarcadero.com, and applying the two hot fixes which I had missed before, BOTH VANISHED! WOW!

Re: [twsocket] A problem/bug with current daily snapshot of ICS
You are welcome! It's fixed and checked in. Should be included in the next daily snapshot as well. However declaration of size_t moved to OverbyteIcsTypes.pas and there are some other changes too. Please give it a trial and let me know how it works for you. Arno, didn't had time to test that build but I tried that latest version from 2010-05-08 and it appears to work and compiles just fine. Also works fine with 0.9.8n libs which is great! So no problems so far, if I find some will let you know. Good work, thanks. -- 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
