It does support SOCKS proxies -- I know because I tested it with one locally and that much works. I need to verify if that also works with Firefox 4.0 beta, but I don't believe that code was changed. It does work with 3.6. Unfortunately it does not work with HTTP proxies because Firefox never tunnels the connection under HTTP, I believe. It would require the proxy to support the CONNECT method in any case and many of them do not. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser@floodgap.com -- Seen on hand dryer: "Push button for a message from your congressman." ----- _______________________________________________ Gopher-Project mailing list Gopher-Project@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/gopher-project Thread start (DIR) [gopher] Proxy support for OverbiteFF (DIR) Followup: Re: [gopher] Proxy support for OverbiteFF (DIR) Followup: Re: [gopher] Proxy support for OverbiteFF
