Dialer and Proxy

Hi,

I have one question about using the Dialer through Proxy.

So, this is the case:

If I setup my computer to go on Internet through a Proxy Server, which first requires that I authenticate myself with a Username and Password, but I must not save them automatically, so I enter them every time I open IExplorer and want to browse the Internet.

Now, if I use the dialer with :

Dialer::GetConnectedState

What will the Dialer tell me? That the Connection is online, offline, or will it ask me for a UserName and Password?

Robert.

oh, i forgot one more thing. I'm also interested to know the result with using the

Dialer::AttemptConnect

Any idea?

You can try for yourself and see. It should tell you are online. It can't know if the proxy would require authentication or not.

Hi kichik,

well, If I had the means to try, I would of done that, without asking you here in the forum 😉 thank you for the answer.

Anyway, I found a proxy with pass, and tried it, and for the ones interested, the answer is yes, the Dialer checks if the computer is connected correcttly.

Best regards,
