HTTP Proxy

[Rio]

Hello,

ive been trying to make my egg connect but it refuses, i connect via a HTTP Proxy, this is the suspectible config line in speculation..

Code: Select all

##### MORE ADVANCED SETTINGS #####

# Set this to your socks host if your Eggdrop sits behind a firewall. If
# you use a Sun "telnet passthru" firewall, prefix the host with a '!'.
 set firewall "192.168.1.244:3128"

theoritically speaking it shud work, but i jsut cant seem to nail it, any ideas? any comments or words of advice are welcome.
Thx
Rio

a HTTP Proxy is no Socks Proxy, you need a Socks Proxy to connect to IRC.
Are you sure this can actually work? I beleave this cannot work... even theoretically . Because a HTTP Proxy should expect a GET and HOST line, while a Socks Proxy expects a CONNECT line afaik ^-^.
If you can, check your Proxy logs, I am sure you will have a 4** error logged .

wrong, a HTTP proxy expects CONNECT and SOCKS proxy expects some garbage codes that eggdrop support nevertheless hehe

but you are right, eggdrop does not support HTTP proxy, only SOCKS (and so-called "Sun Firewall" that nobody has heard of hehe)
