oliver Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Hi! I'm looking for a possibility to open a (HTTP-) DS connection to a HTTP server through a proxy server. Is there any (easy) way to do this? ciao, Oliver Quote
crelf Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 I'm looking for a possibility to open a (HTTP-) DS connection to a HTTP server through a proxyserver... I think what your actually after is a dstp connection, not a http connection? Quote
Jim Kring Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 I think what your actually after is a dstp connection, not a http connection? Actually, the datasocket VIs support the HTTP and FTP protocols (on Windows) allowing one to download http:// and ftp:// URLs.

I'm assuming that datasocket just uses WinAPI (WinInet) calls to achieve HTTP and FTP support. Good luck, Quote

Yes they do, but I'm not convinced that's what oliver is trying to do here.

oliver Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Posted November 15, 2006 Hi! thank you for your answers. The connection I am using is really a HTTP connection and what I am trying to do, is to send variables to a webserver through HTTP-GET commands. Currently I am using a webserver in the local network (intranet), but I also would like to use a webserver in the internet, but our firewall is blocking everything, so I have to pass the commands through our proxy. By know I only tried the webserver in the intranet, but I will sortly try the webserver in the internet. If you are right with the proxy settings and labview, then it should work without any modification. I will let you know. ciao, Oliver Quote
oliver Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Posted November 16, 2006 You were right, DS uses the WinAPI, and it works without any change. Thanks anyway. ciao, Oliver Quote
