RE: [ jEdit-users ] Downloading plugins via http?

[Richard U. <ru...@RT...>]

Microsoft's fix for complaints that Netscape wouldn't work with the =
proxy
was a stub version of winsock32.dll that did the authentication. Of =
course
you need to ensure that the stub is loaded first and always, but that =
the
real winsock32.dll, which the stub has to be able to find, is never =
loaded
directly by an app. I decided it was impractical, swore at Microsoft =
and
ditched Netscape.

This means that:
1. There is no workaround from Microsoft.
2. If you can get it to work the stub dll is probably still available. =
If
it'll work on your OS, this was pre 2000.

Since Netscape has a plug-in the technology may now be published.

This will not work, like anything else you could try to do: M$ Proxy=20
Server uses an extension to the HTTP-Protocol to authenticate its=20
clients via the standard (Windows-)Domain-Logon. That way you do not=20
have to enter any password when authenticating with the proxy.

As you can imagine, this is only supported with IE 4 and later.

I am not even sure if this special form of authentication can be turned =

off on the server.

> Fucking M$.

jepp.
