- NetProxy Version 1.2 Revision 10 Upgrade Notes
- ==============================================
-
- IMPORTANT: Please read the disclaimer at the end of this file before using
- NetProxy. If you do not accept the terms of use, remove NetProxy from your
- system.
-
- Changes since v1.2 rev 6
- ------------------------
-
- 1. Fixed various minor problems with the registration timeout code.
-
- 2. The internal web-proxy was severely broken :(
- 2a. Accessing web-servers on ports other than port 80 now works.
- 2b. Posting form data now works in all cases.
-
- 3. Connecting to hosts by IP address that didn't have an appropraite
- address record in the DNS was failing. This prevented incoming connections
- to machines behind NetProxy on your LAN, unless you ran an internal DNS
- server or had entries in your "hosts" file for the LAN machines.
-
- 4. Finally fixed the bug prevents the help file being displayed correctly
- under NT.
-
-
- Changes since v1.2 rev 0
- ------------------------
-
- 1. NetProxy now uses asynchronous DNS functions for increased speed and
- reliability.
-
- 2. Telnet from Solaris 2.5 is now ok.
-
- 3. FTP gateway now works from Solaris 2.5
-
- 4. NetProxy should no longer hang every few hours, or when an unresolved
- DNS lookup is attempted.
-
- 5. FTP across two proxies should now work. I didn't think anyone would ever
- need to do such a thing... but it would appear I was wrong. Use the form
- 'username@ftp.host.name@gateway2.host.name' if you need to connect via a
- second proxy.
-
- 5. Added 'finger' command to telnet gateway. Type 'help finger' whilst
- connected to the telnet gateway for information on syntax.
-
- 6. Uploads and downloads of large FTP files/directories should no longer
- hang NetProxy.
-
- 7. Fixed numerous bugs in Telnet option negotiation that was causing problems
- with some UN*X telnet clients (low-spec telnet clients such as Microsoft's
- telnet for Win95/NT weren't affected).
-
- 8. Java(tm) applets and CGI forms now work correctly through the web proxy.
-
- 9. Error messages were being send from the web proxy without any HTML headers
- which was causing problems with some browsers.
-
- 10. Fixed lots of bugs (some obscure, some not so obscure) in the web proxy,
- telnet gateway, ftp gateway and socks server.
-
- In short, this release is _much_ faster and more robust than previous
- versions. Thanks to the beta testers and everyone that took the time to
- report problems.
