Use of pre-configured Proxy settings with wininet

[Rahul]

Hi,

Can any body give me some visibility about how to manage NTLM authentication
while establishing a connection with a proxy server?

I am using following API to establish a connection with WebService:
m_hInternet = InternetOpen(ATLSOAPINET_CLIENT, m_strProxy.GetLength() ?
(INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG | INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PROXY) :
INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG,m_strProxy.GetLength() ? (LPCTSTR) m_strProxy :
NULL,NULL, 0);

InternetSetOption(m_hInternet,
INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_USERNAME,m_strProxyUserName.GetBuffer(),
m_strProxyUserName.GetLength());
InternetSetOption(m_hInternet,
INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_PASSWORD,m_strProxyPassword.GetBuffer(),
m_strProxyPassword.GetLength());

IMO, strProxyUserName, strProxyPassword are responsible in carrying UID/PWD
for proxy server in plain text, but for proxy with NTLM authentication
system is there any specific way?

Hi,

You can use the following API to create an HTTP request handle,
and to manage the NT LAN Manager (NTLM), and other types of
authentication:

HttpOpenRequest() using INTERNET_FLAG_KEEP_CONNECTION

Hope these suggestions helps,
