Post by q***@yahoo.co.ukI know i can use the settings in internet explorer but that'd make all
sites browsed through the proxy. I just want to browse one or two sites
from time to time. Not all.
I don't want to use an anonymous proxy website either. I just want to
use a proxy server, e.g. my own.
how do i access a single site through a web proxy? i tried a long url
like http://proxyip/www.google.com/ and it didn't work
http://195.226.230.58:80/www.google.com
the proxy works though. I tried putting it in settings and it worked.
It's just the URL option that isn't working. And it's the URL option
that i want to use.
I don't want to use the settings option or a classic anonymous proxy
website e.g. with a searchbox where you type the URL. I just want to
be able to use a long URL in the toolbar specifying my proxy.

"Just note that HTTP Chaining (described above) does not works on IE
from version 5.5 and above and there is not fix for it!!! "
I suspect that perhaps it's a windows problem.
(Since nobody posted how to get http chaining working in Opera or
Firefox either.)
I haven't tested it in linux

According to this site
http://www.proxyblind.org/proxy_chaining.shtml
this syntax is valid
http://proxy.magusnet.com/-_-http://www.yahoo.com
http://anon.free.anonymizer.com:80/http://www.google.com
Yet I have some proxy servers, which i've successfully pinged and
tested by putting them in the settings of internet explorer,
Yet if I try using them not putting them in the settings. i.e. using
them with long URLs , they don't work
http://195.226.230.58/www.google.com
http://195.226.230.58:80/www.google.com
http://195.226.230.58/-_-195.226.230.58
that's a valid proxy, i tested it in IE via the settings and it worked.
I got it from here
http://www.publicproxyservers.com/page1.html
I didn't find many that worked. But the above one does work. AS tested
in the settings. The problem is with those URLs.
I recall using those kinds of URLs in internet explorer in the past.
Are they not supported anymore?!!
