Slightly off topic, but....
A while back there was a thread about accessing Yahoo mail via POP w/
firewall support (by ShengHuo Zhu) instead of using webmail.
Anybody got this up and working? I connect to the proxy server but
the result is (from the POP session trace buffer):
HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy authorization required
Proxy-agent: Netscape-Proxy/3.53
Date: Sun, 03 Dec 2000 09:10:03 GMT
Proxy-authenticate: basic realm="SPS WWW Gateway"
Content-type: text/html
Content-length: 271
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Proxy authorization required</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY><H1>Proxy authorization required</H1>
Username authentication is required for using this proxy.
Either your browser does not perform proxy authorization, or your
authorization has failed.
</BODY></HTML>
Process POP exited abnormally with code 256
My settings are:
(setq firewall-gateway-host "proxy.foo.com")
(setq firewall-gateway-port 80)
(setq firewall-user-name "username")
(setq firewall-password "secret")
(ad-activate 'open-network-stream)
(setq firewall-gateway-function-list
'(firewall-gateway-send-connect
firewall-gateway-wait-http))
I tried to connect without the username and/or password hoping that I
would be prompted (like w3 accesses) but no such luck.
Any ideas?
