I am trying to retrieve a file from a web server using IdHTTPD.
The server is Apache and has a user/password protected directory where
the file lives.
So I have set IdHTTPD up like this:
IdHTTP.Request.BasicAuthentication := true;
IdHTTP.Request.Username := 'user';
IdHTTP.Request.Password := 'password';

This works fine and I can retrieve the file OK.

But when I am behind an ISA firewall I seem to be unable to get a
message through. How should it be done? This is what I did:
IdHTTP.ProxyParams.BasicAuthentication := true
IdHTTP.ProxyParams.ProxyPort := 8080;
IdHTTP.ProxyParams.ProxyServer := <ISA server name>;
IdHTTP.ProxyParams.ProxyUserName := <a local domain user>;
IdHTTP.ProxyParams.ProxyPassword := <his domain password>;

When I do the GET there is an exception with message:
"HTTP/1.1 502 Proxy Error (The ISA Server denies the specified URL)"

Note that if the URL is typed into Internet Explorer it all works OK.
A server login is shown and then the file appears.

What have I done wrong here? The docs are muddy to me, I would like a
simple "do this" advice.

Thanks,
Bo
