I'm not all that up on proxy servers, but couldn't you make CF run as a user on your system and then give that user access to the proxy? Obviously, you'd make that user have limited rights etc.
I believe your understanding of the CFHTTP is true. It is used for accessing sites that require a username and password to display a page. Bill Brown Web Developer Desert Schools Federal Credit Union >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/8/02 11:22 AM >>> After digging more into this problem it appears that the problem is in the CFHTTP tag and poor documentation. The Username and Password parameters are apparently not for the Proxy server authentication but for accessing a restricted page at the URL location. Please tell me I'm wrong but that is what I'm picking up from other readings. Does anyone have a work-around or suggestion here? One source suggested using CFX_HTTP but I'm not sure it works in CF5 and if it supports proxy authentication. ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
