Hello, We have a government client that has Websense Content Gateway, a linux based web proxy, setup for their network. When they try to use our livecode stand alone behind that proxy, our stand alone is unable to communicate with our web servers. The standalone is built with LiveCode 6.7.1rc1.
Are there known problems with LiveCode 6.7.1 and proxy servers? Does 7.x play any better with proxies? Is there something we need to do in order to get this working right? Do we need to set the HTTPProxy property? Does anybody have any ideas on how we can help the client track down this issue? The support team at Websense declared the livecode standalone "unable" to work with proxy servers, due to the issues outlined below. However I can't believe this is right. Thank you in advance for any help! David Beck > Hi Tim, > I did lots of test on Volunteer Scheduler pro with proxy.
