Hi,

Just got mutella and I'm wondering if it supports proxies? http in particular.

Thanks,

Nope, currently it does not. Is it really needed? In which situation then?

I am surprised by this 'developer' ?! ...
First - answering a question with a question is a kind-a not nice (rude)...

Second, why not tell the user something that CAN help him !?...
... (provided you are developer)

Here is what I know - mutella and other similar p2p client/servers can typically use proxy, but not HTTP - they most often make use of SOCKS proxy (ver.4 ot 5). Now, under windows you can get 'socks2http' - a small tool that will establish a listening SOCKS server on your machine and then reroute SOCKS requests through an HTTP proxy. Under UNIX/Linux there should be a similar way... (don't know).

See if you can find yourself more info and post it here, please.
Thanks !

Hay, It was not like that! I did not answer with a question, but rather tried to open a discassion on why proxy/socks support might be needed. I myself have no access to sock proxy, which of corse would complicate the hypothetical proxy support implementation in mutella. Secondly, for the above reason, I cannot actully help him/her a lot. Anyways, forget it. Just don't loke when somebody tells me that I'm not niche to people :-)

prtunnel tunnels TCP connections from local client programs to a remote server through an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy. This is useful if you're behind such a proxy and want to use a program that doesn't have native proxy support.

Looks like the latest source has proxy support for clients. Btw, I still love the Mutella logo. Greets, M
