Support for HTTP and Socks4/5 Proxys

Posted by jadestorm at 2005-05-03 00:59:21

I'm confused.  This already exists to my knowledge.  Note socksProxyPort and
socksProxyServer in the config file.  I don't know if this works with
socks4 but
it's supposed to at least work with socks5.  Ideally, could you point me at
some
good proxy software for the various types so I have something to test against? 
I had trouble finding something to work with before.

But either way, are you sure the functionality you are looking for doesn't
already exist?

Is there already HTTP proxy support? He might mean that. I believe Squid is an
often used HTTP proxy.

A usefull server for Socks proxy testing might be Dante.

I may not understand the concept of HTTP proxy then.  You can use HTTP proxies
for other things?  Like not just HTTP requests?  I might have misread something
but I thought that's all it could be used for.  Does it effectively pass
through
whatever is sent it's way then?  No interest in what is sent?

Also, what server is Dante?  ;D

I believe the official ICQ client also supports HTTP and HTTPS proxies, so
there
should be a possibility to support them. It might use a different protocol then
to communicate with the server though. Although I'm not an expert when it comes
to these protocols, I could imagine being able to have some from of IM through
HTTP requests and responses from the server.

Dante is a free Socks proxy server (http://www.inet.no/dante/). I know it,
because it is included in several Linux distros. I haven't used it much myself
though, but it seems to be the best free one.
A quick Google should give you several proxy servers. Here are some two others
I've have used back when I still used MS Windows:
http://www.proxyplus.cz/
http://www.pscs.co.uk/products/vsockslight/index.php
There is also the Socks 5 reference implementation:
http://www.socks.permeo.com/

I hope these are useful. I do not use a proxy server myself anymore these days,
so I can't give any other tips.

Odd, last time I tried to look for proxy I got 8 bazillion results of help docs
on setting up like "mozilla with your proxy" or "aol offers a
proxy" or... well stuff like that.  I never saw anything that looked like a
freeware proxy in the results "within reason".  (in other words, I
didn't go through 20 pages of results)  Now I'm seeing some.  Oh well!  Thanks
for the links!  I'll look into it!

Can you add an HTTP CONNECT proxy support ?
