sockets and proxy
-
i've done some basic socket programming so far and there's one thing i'm unable to explain. it works, but i don't know why. :wtf: i'm sitting behind a proxy-server here and when i write a program using sockets, i just use the usual socket-functions provided by the socket-api. my program works fine here behind the proxy and without any changes at other locations, where there is no proxy. why? other programs like browsers, winamp and the like have an extra proxy-settings dialog and in fact they're unable to connect to the internet, when i don't specify one there. can someone explain that to me, please... :rolleyes: :wq
