Thanks Brian, Just checking in to make sure I am not duplicating any effort. The server authentication routines can be used (I think) for proxy authentication. Looking at the RFC, it looks like they are the same. Unfortunately, although I was going to change the HTTPAPI to use proxy authentication, I couldn't test it using Scott's basic and digest authentication types because we use MS ISA server which requires NTLM authentication. NTLM authentication is much more involved (and poorly documented) so I got started on writing an NTLM authentication routine but I have been pretty busy with other projects since. What I am saying is, Ian, that you might be able to take what Brian has done and apply the Basic and Digest (already in HTTPAPI) authentication schemes to it. If not, I DO plan to look at this again but it looks like it will be the end of May before I can turn my attention to it. I will focus on an NTLM authentication implementation but the Basic and Digest should be easier. Pete Brian Doherty wrote:
