Hi,

Does anyone have any idea if you can connect through a proxy using the SDK?
It would be nice.. considering my bots are slow as hell direct connect.

[View Quote] How would adding another connection in-between, help at all? You may
want to look at your code, development system as the source rather than
the SDK. So if you're using, let's say , .NET, you're looking at some
overhead that you probably don't need.

You may want to actually pinpoint where the cause of the slow-down is.
I doubt very much that it's the SDK. But rather your connection (which
won't speed up by using a proxy), or your system itself.

*yawn* pure C++ and MFC, fastest thing there is short of assembly code (/Ox
permitting, of course)

I am on a network where a lower priority is given to direct-connect traffic
(which is very slow) instead of going through one of our 6 proxy servers -
which is very quick... having slow clunky traffic, compared to 100mbps is
not fun.

[withholds on comment about you seem to think im a novice]

Anyone got any ideas? I was thinking it *might* be possible to write a local
winsock proxy that forwards things from localhost to the main proxies, then
to AWI - but that would only account for universe server and I cannot get in
its innerds to override the world connection IP, which is what AWProxy
seemed to do while the ver I have still worked; I suppose the other
alternative would be a network helper layer, and do it the hard way... but
it its one of the most undocumented things on the planet and would take
months.

Couldn't you tunnel it in someway HTTP, SSL or something?
