[phpxmlrpc] URGENT : A problem with setProxy()

[Gaetano Giunta]

Sorry, but to be more helpful with your problem a bit more information 
is needed.

First of all, the lib works with all HTTP proxies, there is no xmlrpc 
involved at all in the 'proxy' concept, only the standard http protocol 
rules.

Then, the questions:
- are you using https/http 1.1 (eg. the lib uses the curl extension) or not?
- what kind of proxy are you using (MS ISA server, squid, other???)
- does the proxy require any authentication to allow access to the end 
server? (the lib supports either BASIC or NTLM)
- does the proxy run on port 80 or not? Is the xmlrpc server listening 
on port 80?
- "without setProxy it works" means that your xmlrpc server is also 
accessible without passing through the proxy or did you test on a 
different setup?
- "when doing telnet proxy it works" means that you actually retrieved 
an html/xml page from the xmlrpc server passing through the proxy or 
that you merely opened and closed a telnet session to the proxy server?
- did you try using a browser to test the proxy settings? just set up 
the proxy in the browser settings, and write the URL of the xmlrpc 
server in the address bar. If the networking layer is ok, you should see 
an xml-rpc response (with an error-no-payload message) displayed in your 
browser

The 404 error means "page not found". As far as I can tell, it means 
that the proxy cannot  receive a response from  the xmlrpc server (or 
the  proxy itself returns a 404, but that would be a little bit more 
strange).
One common cause of similar problems with proxies lies in DNS 
resolution: if you use a logical name for the xmlrpc server instead of 
its IP address, the name resolution is carried out on the proxy itself. 
If the proxy has different dns setup than your client, the results might 
not be what you expect.
