| Hi all,
| I'm using Wininet to download files from a webserver, if the user is
| behind a proxy they have to put in their username,password and proxy
| server address and all works well as long as this is called from a
| standard executable. If I put the same code in an ActiveX control which
| sits in a webpage, the proxy authentication failes every time ? I'm at a
| total loss, anybody any ideas ?
|
