hi, Iam inside a firewall(proxy server). Im writing a socket program (which opens a tcp socket, connects to a site (say yahoo.com :80), and sends a http request). now, whose details should i fill in the server address, is it the proxy server's ip and port # or the server (yahoo) to which i want to connect to. If i should fill the proxy's details in the server address, is it enough to send like this char http_req[80]="GET http://mail.yahoo.com/ HTTP/1.1"; send(sockd,http_req,80,0); tx rajesh balan _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
