- This is the first version of Dante that attempts to support the
- msproxy protocol. This is a protocol not described in any publicly
- known document and it was implemented based on watching networkpackets
- crossing the wire and guessing their meaning.
- This prerelease is made public in order to get feedback
- on the msproxy stuff. Current status:
- - TCP connect(2) is expected to work.
- - TCP bind(2) is expected to work.
- - hostnames are resolved (via the proxy).
- - sometimes the server returns a unexpected response to our
- connect request. MS clients understand when the response
- means "wait a little, then continue or retry", we currently
- don't.
- We appreciate any feedback at all, does it work, does it not. That
- will determine whether Inferno Nettverk will continue to support
- work on this.
- Code for UDP support will probably be added later if there is demand
- for it.
- If you're a UNIX user trapped behind a msproxy server, here's to you.

- News Tuesday, May 18, 1999:
- It seems using the Dante client will, after being used for a
- indeterminate amount of time, crash atleast some msproxy servers.
- We have had bad reports about these msproxy versions:
- IIS3 (NT4 SP3) MSPROXY 2
- If you have a version that does not seem to crash, you might care
- to let us know so we can let others know.
- It might be argued whose fault the crashing is. The original
- windowsclient does not (so often) crash the msproxy server. The
- Dante client does however basically work, it is only after being
- used for a while (and even in independent sessions) the msproxy
- server crashes.
- So if microsoft fixed their server not to crash (and what good is
- a proxyserver that anyone can crash at will/accident anyway?) one
- would think there wouldn't be any problems using Dante with the
- msproxy server.
- An alternative might be that I spend more hours looking at network
- packettraces trying to find the differences between the reverseenginered
- msproxy protocol and the actual protocol.
- Since we didn't receive very much interest in the msproxy
- protocolsupport, the latter alternative is probably not much more
- likely to happen than the first, unless a customer of Inferno
- Nettverk specifically requests better msproxy support.
