How do Rev internet libraries work?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

I am still struggeling with socket time out problems with pure http:
requests at some customers with Win XP.

One of them is a school, where you always have very restricted access to the
internet. But the network admin told me that he has switched off the
firewall, all filters and routers and routed his test PC around the proxy
directly to the access point. Other apps have access to the internet - But
who really knows?

Does anybody knows, if the rev internet librarys take account of the windows
IP and network configuration, like proxy, DNS, etc. or do they make their
own way through the network?

Thanks

Tiemo
