Is your Windows "command prompt" accessible? Maybe you can view your proxy settings.

Execute the following command if possible:

netsh winhttp show proxy


Could you be more specific about "try to send your client_state.xml to a webserver...


Under Linux i would use POST on the commandline to do POST requests against any webserver for testing purposes. If you do not know what a POST request is take a look at the contact form. https://www.onenext.de/contact.html

It's a form which uses the POST method also used to upload files to a webserver... If you click on the "Go" button you can still see the same address in your browser since the data will be sent "invisible" within the HTTP request itself. A GET request on the other hand would look like this: https://www.onenext.de/contact.html?name=YourName&email=you@example.com&message=YourMessage

My idea:
- Open port 80 and install a webserver at home
- Use (install) a PHP file upload script on that server
- Download cURL binaries for your machine at work

cURL for Win2000/XP http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/win32/curl-7.21.4-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32.zip
Other versions http://curl.haxx.se/download.html

If you know your proxy address you can use cURL and upload files to your home-server. For example:

curl -x YOURPROXYADDR:YOURPROXYPORT -F "fileupload=@/path/to/your/client_state.xml" http://example.com/upload.php


I don't want you to lose your work! And sorry but i don't use Windows... So i cannot reproduce those (OS-specific) steps :)

"bad proxy" means that there is a proxy but it is configured for HTTP connections only? If so, you can try to send your client_state.xml to a webserver (via PHP or Perl upload) using a simple POST command.

Hi,

the requirements (Apache or lighttpd with PHP) are related to the machine from which you want to access the remote Boinc clients. Let's call it "master".

Installation steps 5 and 6 applies to the remote client. The only thing you have to do on the client side is to make your client_state.xml obtainable on the network.

There are several ways to achieve that:

* Already installed webserver
* My small Perl script (miniserv.pl)

or (if you are brave enough) on a Linux machine with netpipes installed type:

faucet 8080 --out --localhost 0.0.0.0 --backlog 128 cat /path/to/your/client_state.xml


I've found out that the contact data provided with the installation instructions are out of date. I will fix it as soon as i can :) And maybe there is someone out there who wants to help me to improve the translation..?

Currently not, i'm sorry :)

Since english isn't my native language i'll try to use it in the changelog and there is also a file called INSTALL included with the package. It is written in english as well. Feel free to use the contact form: https://www.onenext.de/contact.html

Greetings!
