httpAuth and Proxy Servers
Keywords: httpAuth Proxy Servers
Question:
I'm using the following code to try and download a text file from the Internet via my WinProxy 2.0 Proxy Server:
httpFirewall(1,Proxy,"80",0,0)
HTTPAuth(user, pass)
URL="http://www.tristategt.org/"
serv=httpGetServer(URL, "")
path=('/member/cpeak/cpgraph.cfm')
a=httpRecvText(serv, path, 1000, 0)
message("File Contents are", a)
and all I get in response is this message (from my WinProxy proxy/firewall, I think):
403 Forbidden
The request was not properly formatted. A possible security risk detected.I can go through this same proxy server using a browser and get the file. Any ideas? Am I missing something here?
Answer:
The httpAuth is for the remote web site, not the proxy server.What settings does your browser have for the proxy server? Does it need a userid and password (to be supplied in the httpFireWall statement?)
