Testing proxy servers in 6.6.2/6.7

This is what I get

httpproxyforurl for host 'samaritans.org.au': 
Proxy for URL: 
socket selected: csu.harvestapp.com:443|6927
socket error csu.harvestapp.com:443|6927

Nakia,

Hmm, the other issue could be authentication. LiveCode isn't going to have authentication callbacks installed by default libURL may just be failing when the proxy server asks for authentication. If the authentication is BASIC or DIGEST then a person can write their own callbacks prompting the user for a username/password. If the authentication type is NTLM then it is a little more complex.

I just did a quick test with WonderProxy and see this in the libURL log:

--------------------------------------
_proxyForURL_proxyForURL use _proxyFromHTTPProxy() with HTTPProxyProxy for
URL: http://baltimore.wonderproxy.com:80
socket selected: 199.15.252.141:80|6924
GET http://www.google.com:80/ HTTP/1.1
Host: www.google.com
User-Agent: LiveCode (MacOS)

HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required
Server: squid/3.4.4
Mime-Version: 1.0
Date: Thu, 08 May 2014 13:01:36 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 3318
X-Squid-Error: ERR_CACHE_ACCESS_DENIED 0
Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm="WonderProxy"
X-Cache: MISS from baltimore.wonderproxy.com
Via: 1.1 baltimore.wonderproxy.com (squid/3.4.4)
Connection: keep-alive
--------------------------------------

So the authentication part fails.

Can you turn on logging for lib URL and see if you can figure anything out from the diagnostics? Just create a stack with a field and tell libURL to log to it:

libURLSetLogField the long id of field 1 of stack "Untitled 1"

Do you see any authentication headers?
