LiveCode added support for more proxy setups in 6.7 and 7.0 (WPAD detection, PAC file support, etc.). Prior to that you were on your own to figure something out and LiveCode wouldn't work with https:// urls through a proxy. I do make a modified libURL available with the GLX Application Framework which works but some of the required scripts are part of the framework itself. 6.7 or 7.0 will work for you in most cases. One where it won't is where the network requires NTLM authentication to connect to the proxy server. You need an external in order for that to work. I made a library available at the RunRevLive conference this year that handles NTLM authentication and provides a username/password dialog for proxies that require it. The library uses an external that the guys at Altuit graciously made available years ago. Which version are you using and do you have the option of trying out 6.7 or 6.0? -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps www.screensteps.com - www.clarify-it.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
