Cannot connect through proxy
Posted: Mon Sep 26, 2005 8:10 am
Hi:
I am at James Cook University, Townsville, Australia.
The only way to force an outgoing connection through the firewall is to autheticate in a web interface at least once every hour, which is a pain in the bum.
Everyone (using the windows MSN client) configures MSN to connect through the university's squid HTTPS proxy, which works fine.
However, I can't get it to work with Adium (X 0.84). I set it to connect via http to gateway.messenger.hotmail.com:80, through the HTTP proxy, but I get this error:
It works fine via HTTP if I tell it not to use the proxy, and force a connection through the firewall.
Any ideas?
