hey .. i am relatively new user to Mac OS so i am still kinda rusty around the edges... my college uses a LAN with a proxy service. hence i am not able to get thru some sites like chat rooms etc.... my friends using windows use something called a http tunnel to get thru thhrough the proxy.... i hve tried to find one for mac os but so far unsuccessfull..
if u guys can help me out , it will be a pleasure

the mozilla browser have an option to turn http tunneling on or off .
I hope this helps, as I don't even know what http tuneling is

there is a program that will do it for all internet apps... unfortunately, i forgot the name of it. versiontracker is your friend.

thx guys...loooking up versiontracker cant seem to find it...
http tunnel is a program that that sort of gets through the frirewall setup by the network . the firewall unintentionally blocks of access to sites like kazaa and chat engines... so most people use it

I highly doubt that it is unintentionally blocking those applications. It is most likely a deliberate setting, particularly applications like KaZaA which costs a lot of money in traffic.

I have written a haxie for me personally which can direct any application through a SOCKS4 proxy, and it could probably be adapted for tunneling applications through any other sort of proxy where that is supported. Unfortunately for you however, I don't like the APE License, primarily because I don't really want to sign my life away to Unsanity, it's just too much hassle for me, so I won't be distributing it to anyone. However it is certainly an easy haxie to write, so maybe some enterprising programmer who doesn't mind going thorugh all the legal mumbo jumbo could write their own haxie to do this. Or they could look at helping the Zaius project write a replacement for the Unsanity Application Enhancer engine.
