Forums Connection Issues HTTP Proxy Support

This is more of a technical question for the developers of mIRC. I had a question about the HTTP Proxy and its interaction with mIRC.

Situation

mIRC to HTTP Proxy: CONNECT $IP:$Port HTTP/1.0 ;;or some varient
Now I was wondering what the HTTP Proxy had to respond with to keep the connection alive. I ask this because the Proxy connects to get the file and starts sending back data but mIRC closes the socket to the Proxy and within mIRC it says the firewall rejected the connection. I know for a fact that the firewall did not, so my intuition tells me that mIRC is looking for certain text to be sent back from the proxy before mIRC starts accepting the file data.

I was wondering if you could help me out with the exact syntax.

Thanks

Hi!

As any HTTP proxy, te server must responds with:
HTTP/1.0 200 Connection established
or
HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established
or "connection established" in minus

The 200 code means everything is OK
Search for the HTTP RFC to see what every code means.

Thanks alot man!
