http authentication - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
My problem is the following:
I use a software named shutter, which is a software allowing me to shutdown my computer remotely. This software is installed on my computer at home and works as server.
The way to use it is to enter the url in any browser like this http://ip:Port and a page is loaded with two fields, username and password, allowing me to be authenticated on my server remotely.
From a normal computer, I tried with IE and firefox and it works fine.
Thus, I tried with my mobile phone using IE mobile and opera mobile 9.5 and impossible to reach the server. However with an Iphone (safari) it works.
it seems that shutter uses an http authentication and I don't know why it doesn't work on ie+opera mobile. Wrong setting? not supported? By looking on msdn it seems that http authentication is supported by IE.
Anyway, do you have an idea on how to set my browser to reach my server?
Thanks

Need WM mobile browser with SOCKS proxy support or workaround

Hello,
Im using a htc hd2 with WM6.5
Does anyone know of a mobile browser in which I can change SOCKS proxy settings - just like mozilla firefox? (ive tried minimo and fennec a3, but no good, unless I could use some addon in fennec).
I want to tell my browser to listen on port 1080 for a SOCKS connection (im port forwarding with pocketputty).
Alternatively, does a program like 'tsocks' exist for windows mobile, in which I can socksify for my mobile browser? I havent used tsocks before btw.
Or finally, is there a way to edit the registry in WM6.5 so that the browser does listen on port 1080 for SOCKS?
Thankyou,
Will
yeah...bro..i need sm workaround as well !! please read my thread if it relates !!!
Summary:
I am attempting to use a remote SSH server as a proxy for browsing the web on my htc hd2.
This is called a "Poor man's VPN" - If you have never heard of this, please read this: http ://wiki.freaks-unidos.net/ssh-port-forwarding
I'm currently using pocket putty with dynamic port forwarding to forward port 1080 on a remote SSH server back to my localhost on my device.
I cannot seem to find a mobile browser that has the ability to configure SOCKS proxy settings. I need to be able to tell the browser to use a SOCKS proxy, to listen to localhost on port 1080 which is being forwarded.
Since I havent found a browser to do this, I have tried to use proxycap to sockify a browser. I basically want to redirect the traffic coming from the ssh tunnel with proxycap to the browser even though the browser has no SOCKS support.
I dont have a technical background.
I dont know if this actually works
Is it possible to do the above? If so, how do I configure proxycap to act between the SSH tunnel and the mobile browser...
well I found a way to configure proxy settings on minimo
you type into the URL "about:config".
Then you change some entries
network.proxy.socks......
however, I ran into another problem...does wm6.5 have a problem with with localhost or 127.0.0.1???
Because i read that localhost doesnt work on wm past version 5...
how else can get a loopback address??
bumpwwwwwww

[Q] How can i make App access internet through proxy configured in proxy settings

In the latest update Mango, we're very glad to see the proxy settings available for WIFI and mobile network (APN), but here comes another new issue, I can only make IE browser work with those proxy settings.
Let me make this clear.

I configured the server IP address, port, username and password after edit my WIFI proxy settings, then I succeeded to open mobile.twitter.com in the IE 9 browser on my Focus, however, when i was very excited to try it in Twitter windows phone app, it was failed.
Does the proxy only work with browser? I don't understand.
Is there anybody can help this?

First launch opera.
Then type in the address bar (opera:config).
Find proxy option and vola u dont it.

[Q] htc Hero (rooted) - tethered fine but cannot access emails yahoo or gmail

I am using Easy Tether, which is great (on my rooted htc Hero) - I can access all websites EXCEPT email! Yahoo and gmail are the two I use and neither will grant me access. When I try, it hangs and hangs and eventually comes up with this message below, but all other websites work just fine. Any ideas?
The connection has timed out
The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Are you using EasyTether Lite? If so, this is because in order to login to those sites you need to use https, the secure version of the http protocol. EasyTether Lite blocks https probably as a way to get you to pay for it

[Resolved] [Q] Proxy works on iphone and laptop, but not android

Solution: Apparently, switching from the stock rom to CM9 fixes this problem. At least with firefox.
Setup: I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Player. The wireless network where I volunteer has a proxy on their wireless that requires you to login before you can access the internet.
Thankfully, it's set up so that (on a properly functioning device) any website you visit is replaced by the login page if you're not logged in. After you login, that same page refreshes to the url you originally entered.
Behavior
On my laptop, and my friends iphone, this works just fine. However, on my droid it does not, whether I use the built in web browser, firefox, or opera. Instead of the login page, I get the standard 'page load error' page.
If I input the url for the login page it pulls up just fine, but does not redirect properly after I login. It simply reloads the same page over and over, simply appending (rather than replacing) the url of the site I want to visit to the login page's url. This same behavior occurs if (after logging in) I type a url directly into the address box.
I've tried a few different proxy apps, and configured them to what I think is the proxy (determined with tracert on laptop), but get the same page loading error, even with the login page.

Android authenticated proxy on data

Hi,
is there some app that would let me fill proxy url (with authentication) and then run traffic through that proxy? Or at least some add—on to some browser, something like switchy omega is for desktop chrome.
I have found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.assets.androidproxy but this doesn't support authentication.
I know there should be some solutions for rooted phone, do I need to get root access for this to work?
I also know that I can setup proxy for the access point, but that means always fill username and password by hand.
Thanks
