Proxy Detection (General questions)

by Codeuber, Tuesday, August 14, 2007, 17:24 (6311 days ago)

Hello,
I have coded software that uses multiple threads of wodHTTP at once. I have allowed the user the supply a proxy list in the format of proxy:port.

I was wondering if there was any way I could specify wodHTTP to automatically determine what kind of proxy it is.

There are too many proxies for the user to select what kind each and every single one is.

If there is none, is there any way you could add this to the features?

Thanks

proxy : port
proxy : port
proxy : port
proxy : port

Hi.

Do you have idea *how* would wodHttpDLX detect proxies?

Why doesn't your application do that and then feed wodHttpDLX with results?

what happens if you do not select ProxyType?

but set the hostname and the port

does it still try to use the proxy without knowing what type?

No, in that case no proxy is used. wodHttpDLX doesn't have the logic to auto-detect proxy, it is not a browser component, it handles only HTTP protocol. There are too many proxies arround for it to have code for it, it could be a separate component just for proxies.

wodHttpDLX will do what you tell it to do.. it will not try to be smart by itself, some users may disalike that feature :)
