Passing a proxy server

[pjot]

newLispers,



When using my RSS reader at my work, this was blocked by that annoying HTTP proxy-server in our network.



So I created a small program to break my way through. It can be found here:

I only tested it with Linux so far, together with the RSS reader, and it works OK. Tomorrow I can test it with Windows as well.



Maybe it is of use to somebody else.

The PROXY context also works with Win2000.

It appeared that some URL's return a reply with the new location of the URL. If this happens, the proxy-server closes the connection and there is no retrieved data.



I have updated the PROXY context to handle with this situation.
