DTPT proxy support

[Aurelien Bompard]

Hi people,

I've been working these last days on HTTP proxy support for DTPT. The aim is
to mimic ActiveSync's behavior in this regard:

through-feature.aspx

I've got something that seems to work, but still needs more testing,
especially in a different environment.
If you're interested in the feature, would someone be willing to help test
it ? You need to be using a proxy at home or at work, with a firewall
blocking direct internet access.

Should I just post the code here or on a sourceforge tracker ?

Thanks

Aurélien

Cool ! I won't be able to test this directly but hopefully some of the
guys can. A tracker item is probably best.

Thanks !

Am I missing something here? Thought we already had DTPT support in
sync-engine?

Yes, but DTPT did not work if your only way to the internet was through a
proxy.
When the computer has a proxy configured, ActiveSync "sends" it to the
device on connection. My patch does the same.

Ah, that makes sense. I never tested the original DTPT implementation
with a proxy. Thanks for your patch!
