[REBOL] RE: proxy.r blues
From: galtbarber::mailandnews::com at: 4-Aug-2000 15:11
Elan, I just found out that if I use
Netscape instead of IE, I don't get missing Icons.
So obviously Netscape and IE are doing something
differently. Maybe Netscape fails like IE to
get the icons, but is willing to try another
fetch on a fresh connection for each before
giving up or something, whereas IE just gives up
and doesn't retry. Not sure...
I would still think that we should be able to
make a proxy server or webserver with Rebol that
works with IE. Right now it doesn't work with IE4,
and I now have several versions of proxy.r including
one that I ran with no modifications by me that
I got off rebol.org.
I also received a newer version of proxy.r from Sterling,
but it uses do %..\setnet.r and I don't have setnet.r
anywhere, but looking at the rest of the code,
it uses the same basic approach, so I assume it too
would fail like a dog on IE4.
I don't know if some older version of the rebol.exe
would make the proxy.r work with IE4, but I suspect
it wouldn't. I maybe able to still get my Load
Testing project to work using Netscape, but I
would like to investigate the cause and have it fixed!!!
I think that maybe rebol is doing something with
tcp in windows that IE4 doesn't like? Well,
I don't know much low level tcp/ip at all.
Any suggestions?
I wish I had thought earlier to try Netscape!
But I didn't want to believe it it could make any difference!
By the way, I tried every alternative,
with http1.1, without, http1.1 with/wo proxy, etc,
under the proxy settings on the connection tab
and on the advanced tab on the IE browser,
and none of that seemed to help.
Thanks as always!!

p.s. Should this be considered a bug reportable event?
