I hoped that winsock knew how to handle the ECMAscripts, but you mean
that is not the case? So any application that wants to go through a
proxy server must be able to retrieve and execute ECMAscripts itself?

general solution for this (when there is no web-browser involved)? What
does the commercial solutions do?
