Hi, I am a newcomer to this list, and to the excellent ICS components. I have a task to update an in-house utility program written many years ago in Delphi. My task is to add support for Socks5 proxy connections. I am new to programming for internet communication, but I'm the only one left in my team with any Delphi experience... I am working with Delphi 7.
The program basically has two communication parts to it - a telnet type connection which is used for user interaction with a remote server and a http socket connection which comes in to play for uploading or downloading data using POST and GET commands. I was quickly able to implement the telnet part using a TWSocket component. This works successfully through the Socks proxy and I am very happy with it. A particular point to note is that DNS resolution is done by the proxy machine, which is a requirement of the project. For the http part I am looking at using a THttpCli component. I am experimenting using the OverbyteIcsHttpGet demo, setting up the Socks properties on HttpCli1. It works if I provide the actual IP address of the remote server, but not when I enter a url. It appears to use the local machine for the DNS lookup, not the proxy. Is there some way I can encourage it to use the proxy for DNS resolution? Alternatively, how can I get the remote IP address from the existing TWSocket connection? (PeerAddr only gives me the IP of the proxy server). Any assistance with this issue will be much appreciated.
