Web Update - Proxy

[NewsArchive]

Hi there,

Can I get some enlightment on the web update checking program (built with
wupdate.sb6 redistributable) and proxy servers ?

My question is how can I use proxy information gathered from the user to be
utilized with the web update checking module.

If you are using the standard wupdate.exe, then proxy information are
retrieved from the wupdate.ini (located in the wupdate.exe folder)

wupdate.ini format is:

[PROXY]
Server=proxy address
Port=port
User=username
Password=password

If you are working on your own solution, see "Read Proxy Server Info
File..." and "Write Proxy Server Info File..." script functions.

Does this help?

Thanks Friedrich.

I have my own update check script and the script functions were what I
needed to know about.

It seems I can't find them on my own !

Friedrich,

It would be far preferable (to me) to read proxy information from the
registry.
