Hi,
We've got some code for using the internet using wininet.dll. The problem is
that if the user has a proxy server set up in IE, it returns 407 when it
tries to connect. Which is the http error code for failing to authenticate
to a proxy server. All of these users can use our internet code quite
happily if they go to Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan Settings and
disable the proxy.
Now I think I know how to authenticate to the proxy server but I have
absolutely no way of testing it. Our isp's don't use proxy servers, and any
other isps's that do would not let us on because we wouldn't be able to
authenticate as one of their users. Proxies that don't require
authentication obviously don't produce the error.
So my question is... where can I get some proxy server software that I can
install in windows?
