Couple of questions on the new proxy type (IE) (wodAppUpdate)

by dirk, Monday, October 03, 2005, 15:10 (6779 days ago)

If I would set the proxyhostname and the proxyport and then set the proxytype = proxywindows, will it then ignore the proxyhostname/proxyport?

Does setting proxytype=proxywindows mean that you will be using the service of the wininet.dll for the real request or just to get the hostname/port?


And do you look at the execptions set in IE? From what I could see you're not looking at the exceptions.

Dirk,

Correct, it will ignore your settings in ProxyHostname/ProxyPort, it will change ProxyType internally, and will use ProxyLogin/ProxyPassword.

Does setting proxytype=proxywindows mean that you will be using the service of the wininet.dll for the real request or just to get the hostname/port?

Just to get hostname/port, we don't switch to wininet at any time.

And do you look at the execptions set in IE? From what I could see you're not looking at the exceptions.

No, we don't look at exceptions at this time. If we see it as neccessary, we may add support for exceptions too.

Kreso

Thanks for the quick reply.

It might be good to add to the doc that expections in IE are not used by the component (when using proxytype = proxywindows)
