server connect to repeater in http?

[ardent42]

Is it possible for the server to use HTTP (with and without http proxy) to connect to the repeater/viewer? Alot of customers are behind firewalls that do not allow opening TCP connections, but obviously allow http connections.

yes just config your repeter to listen server on port 443 (https) or 80 (http) and in you server config use port 443 or 80

[ardent42]

But the server will not use HTTP proxy,right?
It will simply try to connect via TCP to port 80 or 443. In some setups, only http requests that pass through the proxy are allowed (and IE is configured to use it).

Using ports 80 and 443 does work

Listen for viewer 80
Listen for Server 443

If you unchecked the proxy option and the dynalias

But if you are trying to get through a proxy may not be possible if the SSL port is in use..

So proxies may not pass the traffic

I can use port 80 or 443 of course. That's not the problem.

The way pchelpware works is server -> repeater <- viewer

The issue is that the server is behind a firewall and does not allow it to open tcp connections directly. It can, however, use an http proxy. I do not believe pchelpware can actually use an http proxy intsead of direct tcp connection, hance my question. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Whi not? I tried and it work right.
In a LAN with a client that use a proxy (ISA) and it dont'have a direct internet connection (the gateway is null), PCWServer can connect to my repeater using proxy and 443 port.
N.B.: If the proxy is ISA, it must have enabled the basic authentication.
