ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
Dave-H replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
Try to install the program package by using different paths! All seems fine, no problem with spaces! Check if my configuration utility "Configure PopMenu" does its job properly in your system! Yes, it worked perfectly. Read the documentation and check if it is complete and understandable! I think so, as long as people read it fully of course (which I didn't initially!) and remember what it says. It's all there. Try out all provided features! All work as advertised. After applying my configuration program, perform a restart and check if the programs Min2Tray and PopMenu were started automatically! Yes they were. Check if the proxy settings are activated after executing the file "StartProxy.exe", and deactivated after closing the proxy in different ways! All seems fine. Call up different websites and also TLS testing websites while using the proxy! TLS v1.3 connections fine in IE8!- 880 replies

ProxHTTPSProxy and HTTPSProxy in Windows XP for future use
Dave-H replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
So it does, but that's not very intuitive IMO. I would have expected to have to right-click on the minimise button, not the close button! Fair enough, but using TrayIt! will also get rid of the extra tray icon problem, as it can hide its own icon. I'm a bit surprised that Min2Tray can't do that, being as it's a system tray utility, but I guess their view is that you should always be able to immediately access the program.- 880 replies

I now see that @NotHereToPlayGames has just said pretty much the same thing! There seems to be no equivalent to that functionality now.- 880 replies

Sounds good! Delaying ProxHTTPSProxy.exe auto-starting by 10 seconds with Startup Delayer does work. I'm afraid from my experiments at the moment I prefer my TrayIt! solution though. I got really used to just being able to click on the Proxy icon to bring its window up, and clicking it again to put it back in the tray.- 880 replies

Dave-H replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
Ah, understood! I was caught out because the proxy always used to start on boot by default for me with previous installations. I need it running all the time because my e-mails in Eudora don't display properly without it. I have Startup Delayer already installed and running to delay other things, so I will just use that.- 880 replies

The documentation seems fine to me. Would you like another Word document of the proofed version with a bigger font? One thing I'm now finding is that although Min2Tray and PopMenu run at boot fine, HTTPSProxy doesn't. I have to start it manually. What have I missed?- 880 replies

OK. I don't like using the Windows 'hide inactive icons' option much. I have always had it disabled, and using it just puts an extender double arrow in place of the hidden icon, so you don't gain any space if you're only hiding one icon! I will investigate further! I've attached a proof-read copy of the main document (which I actually hadn't read, I only read the 'Readme First!' one!) I've marked the corrections in red (which is why it has to be a Word document) I hope you can read it OK. Cheers, Dave. Documentation of ProxHTTPSProxy.docx- 880 replies

Dave-H replied to AstroSkipper's topic in Windows XP
OK, first impressions, all works really well! My first question is, is it possible to hide the Min2Tray icon in the system tray? I can't see any obvious setting to do that. My tray is already pretty cluttered and the Proxy icon and PopMenu icon I obviously want there, but I can't see any reason to have to keep the Min2Tray icon there.- 880 replies

I think it's unlikely. My understanding was that versions after 13.x would not be XP compatible, and in fact would be 64 bit only. Be very careful if you do run that installer and it works, I tried one installer (13.6 I think) and it installed a lot of unwanted crap on my machine!
-
If the program's installer needs a later version of Windows Installer than is supported on XP, is the program itself compatible with XP? This wouldn't be unknown, but if the program will work on XP but won't install on XP the only answer is probably to install it on a machine with a later version of Windows and copy the installation over to the XP machine. How difficult (or possible) this is varies from program to program of course.
-
The other way around actually, they work but won't install as the installer became XP incompatible. 8u152 is the last with a working installer as you say, but versions up to 8u241 do work on XP if you do a rather tedious manual install process. 8u251 contains one XP incompatible file (sunmscapi.dll) which has to be replaced with the version from 8u241, but otherwise works. After 8u251 the file incompatibilities got so much worse it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to get it to work anymore!

So what does the ProxHTTPSProxy.exe file actually do in ProxyMII? Does it just run the ProxHTTPSProxy.bat batch file? I must say that I was puzzled as to why it was there, and I did wonder if it was there for compatibility reasons with other versions.- 880 replies

FWIW, I found it still worked fine with 'localhost' instead of the actual IP address, the same settings as my existing ProxHTTPSProxy in fact.

Off-topic of course, but I concur. POSReady updates have never given me any problems, but they did give me an extra five years worth of security updates!

I didn't download it. Don't worry, I'll wait for the replacement version.

Where is the 'archive' now? I thought the original was pulled because of licencing problems.

Thanks for that @rereser, I didn't know they had an international site. I guess they haven't got around to 'updating' that one yet!- 2,321 replies
