Sorry, make that openssl 9.7f... my bad... Does anyone out there know
anything about communicating via proxies with openssl?


After some digging in the sources it looks to me like the socket BIO does not support BIO_set_proxies. But it should not be so hard to connect to the proxy port using a socket BIO, issue the CONNECT command to the proxy and then call SSL_connect, though I haven't done this myself so far... ;)

Subject: bio connect via proxy

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to talk (as a client) through a proxy server using OpenSSL
bio's in windows. I see where it's possible to set up a bio using
BIO_set_proxies and I tried doing BIO_set_proxies(myBio, myProxy) where
myBio is a bio and myProxy is a "hostname:port" (e.g. localhost:80). I
cannot connect when my windows box wants to go through the proxy server. I connect fine if I turn of the proxy settings in windows (XP).

I see where there may have been at one time a proxy.h and an object PROXY
which had various methods associated with it, but it doesn't seem to be
included in 9f.  Anyone have any idea on how to connect a windows client
to a host via proxy?

Thanks for your help.


Hope it helps
Ted
;)
