updater using a server with proxy authentication

Hi;

In case of autoupdater feature, supposed that the url where we are uploading the new client version and the update.ini is on Server protected by proxy. when Updater trying to connect to that server in order to update the client, the server will automatically prompt the user for the username and password. how can i pass the username and password (proxy authentication setting) by the updater itself in order to automate the process without any user interaction and make it fully silent


regards
Homam

Re: updater using a server with proxy authentication

Hi Homam,

I'm afraid there are no command line switches for that. We usually expect for the proxy settings to be on the client side, not server side. In the client side proxy the updater automatically detects the credentials from Internet Explorer.

For securing your connection you could instead use and HTTPS protocol, which is also supported by the updater, therefore you would not need to use the proxy configuration.
