If you have used PHP and CURL, let me know. I have questions concerning connecting through a specific type of proxy server.
ditto, take a look at http://www.goodreturns.co.nz/section/225.html the content is all generated via curl
I've got the windows "cURL" program to run fine. However when I try the cURL functions that come with PHP http://www.php.net/curl I can't connect through my ISA proxy server. If you find somebody can you refer them to me? It's not mission critical, it just bugs the HELL out of me when I can't do something I set out to do.
There is probably a setting in the proxy server - look for a setting for "php script interpreter" and "allow" it. I had problems with my firewall and smtp settings where this was the answer. good luck
I am desperately trying not to have to change any settings on the proxy server. In fact, this may not even be an option.
I think I may have figured it out. I set up a different machine with a fresh install of the latest version 4 php. I set it up manually on a Windows XP machine. There are certain things that you must do, like put certain DLLs in the system32 directory instead of just including their directory in your path. Also you must ensure that your DLLs match your version of php (ie make sure you use that ones that shipped with your install). I am going to post a big post in my forum as soon as I get all the details. Perhaps this will save somebody else some aggrevation in the future.
Found all the issues. Most of them were due to installation issues. I changed my install from a CGI to an ISAPI installation and then got the cURL libraries to work. I posted about it in detail at my forum here... http://forums.thinkbling.com/viewtopic.php?t=204
