Re: wget blocked by Microsoft Proxy Server firewall

[Vadim Egorov <egorovv@1c.ru>]

Hi,
I don't know whether it is of any help but WinSock proxy settings can be 
controlled though mspclnt.ini and Wspcfg.ini files. I have no much
information
about its matter but i had to disable winsock proxy for X programs by
placing 
into X11R6.4/bin directory Wspcfg.ini file with

[Common Configuration]
Disable=1

in it to be able to run them on my computer. Otherwise sockets simply
didn't
work while winSock proxy was enabled.

Regards
Vadim
