Hi Mario. Here is an update on the HttpClient testing I've done.

(well authentication to a site plus proxy authentication) I don't think the version of HttpClient that is being used with the current version of VFS (HttpClient version 2.0.2) can do it though. >> What type of authentication do the proxy use?

Our company has set up Microsoft ISA to use NTLM version 2 and Kerberos as the authentication schemes for the proxy so even HttpClient 3.0.1 cannot get through (as it does basic, digest and NTLM version 1 only). I believe HttpClient 3.1 can do it but that is currently only in an alpha state so I don't think I'd use that just yet. So I think I'm stuck on that front. FTP is probably my best bet. (that, I know, isn't being proxied) Anyway, I thought you'd like to know. All the best, Tony --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
