Proxy support
 

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?

why proxy ?!??
 

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 !

;)

Re: why proxy ?!??
 

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
