BCB6 patched.
I have had one developer tell me that my application that calls a
web-service should "just work" from behind a proxy server. Is this true?
I am suspicous of this because I have had one client tell me that my "check
for updates" functionality fails because they are behind an *authenticating*
proxy server. As far as that goes I have modified that check for updates
code to be like this:
if (globalOptions.UseProxy)
{
IdHTTP1->Request->ProxyServer = globalOptions.ProxyName;
IdHTTP1->Request->ProxyPort = globalOptions.ProxyPort;
if (globalOptions.UseProxyAuth)
{
IdHTTP1->Request->ProxyUsername = globalOptions.ProxyUserName;
IdHTTP1->Request->ProxyPassword = globalOptions.ProxyPassword;
}
}
AnsiString response = IdHTTP1->Get(fullURL);
I believe that will work - but not sure because I havent set up the
necessary proxy server to test.
Now, as far as the web-service goes, I could do something similar - but the
import BCB creates uses THTTPRIO to invoke the service and it does not have
such proxy server details.
What do you think I should do?
TIA.
M.
