http proxy support

mintu · 01-24-2005, 12:53 PM

hi
i m behind a firewall (with proxy username and password). i was using cuteftp pro 6.
one of my frnd suggest me to use flashfxp. i tried latest version.. but it did not work for me (403 forbidden error).
my proxy is http type. same setting and proxy setting works in cuteftp. i couldnt access outside ftp with flashfxp while same ftp with same settings is accessable with cuteftp pro 6.

i think the problem is that it works on tunneling (just a guess) as cuteftp doesnt specify anything abt their engine.
i jus want to say that please look in this matter. u can better understand abt these so have a look at cuteftp engine.
thanx
hope to see this function working in future releases.

here is the log file of flashfxp:

FlashFXP doesn't support the http proxy get method, It only supports connection tunneling, In order to use FlashFXP with your proxy the proxy will need to be re-configured to allow connection tunneling.

The reason we don't support get is because it's too limited, FlashFXP would be extremely crippled and it would perform below most user expectations. not to mention site to site transfers aren't supported by this method.
