Hi!

You wanted to say "Hey, there's a chapter in the Indy knowledge base 
with that title", didn't you? :-)

Well, I read it but it still took an hour before I figured out how to 
use it properly. This mail started out as a question but I figured the 
answer out along the way so I thought I should share my success story. 
Maybe it helps someone...

What I wanted to do:
1. My program (a chat-client) should connect to my webservers standard
    port (80). My webserver: Apache on Linux.
2. Once connected, I wanted my client to issue a (HTTP)CONNECT command
    to connect to port 6666 on my server where a chat-server is
    listening.


This worked:

TIdTCPClient
  Host:      localhost
  Port:      6666
  IOHandler: => TIdIOHandlerStack

TIdIOHandlerStack
  Host:             localhost
  Port:             6666
  TransparentProxy: => TIdConnectThroughHttpProxy

TIdConnectThroughHttpProxy
  Enabled: true
  Host:    myexternalhostname.com
  Port:    80


In http.conf on the server (Apache 1.3):

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
     ProxyRequests On
     AllowCONNECT 443 563 6666

     <Directory proxy:*>
         Order deny,allow
         Deny from all
         Allow from all    <= could maybe be fine-tuned :-)
     </Directory>
[...]

You do not need to set those properties at the IOHandler layer.  Set them 
only on the TIdTCPClient itself.
