    just go with HTTP Private proxy that works for GSA :)

    Anonymous proxies not transparent Ips.

    you can get from those if needed: http://proxy-hub.com/

    I know. But i am asking what type are they in gsa @sven web or connect?
  • extremeboyextremeboy
    @molex: seems connect means anonymous and web means transparent probably.


    @sven differentiate that better as he made that distinction else it's Anonymous or TRANSPARENT type of HTTP proxies normally.

    WEB is one type CONNECT another. WEB uses a normal GET/POST request to the proxy with the full URL as parameter rather than just the path.

    CONNECT will use CONNECT <ip/host>:<port> and will send anything after connectionw as successful (like a GET/POST or any other protocol like irc, icq...).

    @sven so basically if we have a http proxies which will be better to be used in gsa? Web or connect. I just need to know this and knowing i want anonymous and elite and fast proxies.

    Hi Molex,

    Connect are more useful overall - there isn't an upside for web proxies at all, as ALL connect proxies will support get/post (well, I'm yet to see anything that doesn't anyway).

    connect proxies can be used with HTTPS + mail checking, web ones can't.

    Both can be used for scraping, identifying and submission to non-https sites..

    @sven - correct me if I'm wrong on any of this :)

    Cheers,
    Michael
