Type
A Long valueSyntax
object.ProxyType [= value]
The ProxyType(object,value) syntax has these parts:
| object | An expression evaluating to an object of type wodHttpDLX. |
| value | A ProxyTypes enumeration, as described in settings. |
Remarks
The settings for value are:
| Constant | Value | Description |
| ProxyNone | 0 | No proxy is used. |
| ProxySocks4 | 1 | Connection is made through SOCKS4 proxy firewall. |
| ProxySocks5 | 2 | Connection is made through SOCKS5 proxy firewall. |
| ProxyWEBStandard | 3 | Typical WEB proxy (using web CONNECT command) is used. |
| ProxyRelay | 4 | Simple relay. |
| ProxySocks4a | 5 | Connection is made through SOCKS4a proxy firewall. |
| ProxyWindows | 6 | Uses settings from the registry (same as Internet Explorer). |
If the user needs to connect to a remote server through a proxy, this property should be set to a value other than
ProxyNone. Depending on the type of remote proxy, the user should specify the correct protocol with this property.
The most common proxy type is
ProxyWEBStandard.
Socks 4/4a and
Socks 5 are general proxy protocols, universal to any type of protocol.
Relay is not a real proxy, but just a 'pipe' or 'redirector' that listens on a predefined port, and when a client connects to it, opens a predefined destination hostname and redirects all traffic between the client and the remote server. Relay proxy is very useful when testing other protocols.
ProxyWindows type is included in version 1.3.8. It uses same values as specified in Internet Explorer, under Tools->Internet Options->Connections->LAN Settings. wodHttpDLX will use anything specified for "HTTP" or "Secure" proxy addresses, or for "Socks" if these two aren't specified.
If your proxy server needs you to authenticate, you should setup
ProxyLogin and
ProxyPassword properties, as well as to choose authentication mode with ProxyAuthentication property.
