hi, thought i'd help give input when i can. if you are using the 'ms' version of 'socks' - please note that a real socks service is a proxy within itself. also the version of socks is only 4.3 and all socksified applications must only be at this version level. now the standard is socks version 5; check socks5.nec.com or socks.nec.com. they wrote that standard (i think!) and you'll get the real deal on socks proxy services..... | Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2000 10:55:17 -0400 | From: NB Keenan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Subject: Re: (HELP!)how to communicate with socket through proxy? | | It depends upon the proxy. It may not be possible if the administrator of | the proxy has taken steps to prevent it. | | Here is what I would do to write a general purpose application (on a | Windows computer): Look in the registry, and see what the default browser | is. Then look at the browser settings. The browser is going to be | configured one of three ways: no proxy, SOCKS proxy, or HTTP proxy. If it | is set for no proxy, you can connect directly (on the HTTP port if port | blocking is in effect). If it is set for a SOCKS proxy, you will be able | to get through -- read the settings for the SOCKS proxy from the browser | settings, and use them to communicate using the SOCKS protocol. (The SOCKS | protocol is very simple to implement -- do a web search.) If the browser | is using an HTTP proxy, you will have to encapsulate your traffic in | HTTP. However, this may not work -- HTTP proxies often check the traffic | to make sure that it is valid HTTP. | | You should get a free proxy server that supports both SOCKS and HTTP | (WinGate comes to mind) to help you develop this. Note that this strategy | assumes that the browser is configured properly. | | Don't do this if you want the cooperation of network administrators. They | generally frown upon people who use ports for other than their stated purpose. | | At 01:00 PM 4/28/00 +0800, you wrote: | >I write a client/server program ,the client and server communicate with | >winsocket,but if the client connect to internet through proxy ,the client | >can not connect to the server.How can I do ? | > | >yhq | >2000/4/27 | > | > | | | - - | [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with | "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.] | | ------------------------------ | _______________________________________________________ Get 100% FREE Internet Access powered by Excite Visit http://freelane.excite.com/freeisp - [To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe firewalls" in the body of the message.]
