Proxomitron a Bust on IE6 Beta

I have IE6. You have to have the build where you go to Tools-Internet Options-Privacy Tab and go to advanced. There you have a cookie prompt. You hit prompt and Cookie Pal works. I use Poki's Pop Up Closer and that stops pop ups. Also Atguard's 2.2 works for Ad blocking as well as AdSubtract. All these works in that build.

It was a version I downloaded from another site.

Please tell us what version you have. If I can get Cookie Pal to work with IE6, I want to upgrade.
Which OS are you running?

Ethics, what version of IE6 do you have?
One more question if you will, Does Popki work on IE6?
I know you tested it, but I don't remember if it was on IE6 or not.
Thanks.

Yes I have been using it and wwworks fine

Ethics and I talked about this and we have a theory. You see, Proxo does not change anything in the OS or in the software. You can just copy/paste the files and run. We believe that since this is the case, Ethics simply left out the proxy information on the HTTP line: localhost port 8080, which was the reason why Proxo did not work. He'll confirm this later and get back to us.

FYI, I have checked the Proxo website and Yahoo groups archives, and it appears that Opera indeed does work with Proxo. The consistent comment made throughout the posts I have read all refer to checking the proxy settings.

Good luck, and thanks Ethics.

2462. Interesting that he has a newer version? And what site would have a newer version of IE than Microsoft?

---

Yes, if I didn't have a test machine, I wouldn't try it either. But I will try it tonight.

Thanks ZX for the info, I will try the configuration with proxy and see how that works. If it works with Opera, that would be awesome since I consider Opera to be a superior product over IE.

Opera, speaking of which, since you keep mentioning Opera, I am trying it again right now, and I really like the short cut functions the right click mousing offers. AND, at work, Opera is loading up web pages so fast, I cannot believe I'm at work!!

Now I just have to migrate over to Opera at home.

Actually I tried Opera about 3 or 4 months ago, and didn't like it. But now I do.

Opera has it's problems but the lack of some text lining up in say, ESPN site, is not reason enough for me to dump it to IE world.

The shortcut clicks are awesome and I will need to get Opera going at work since I am right-left clicking on IE realizing how crappy and primitive it is.

Glad you like it so far.

Thanks for being a big advocate of the browser. I really like it. Previously, any browser I tried at work periodically caused pages to load very slowly. But since yesterday using Opera, it's been nothing less than fast.

I have had previous version and uninstalled it because it had no cookie prompt.Been trying IE6 2465 and had no problems at all. Everything that I had with 5.5 works with this version. Cookie Pal,Popki, and Atguard, and Adsubtract before Atguard. Seems to work faster than 5.5 and alittle more stuff. Go for it.

Ok I tried the configuration changes ZX has told me about and I am not sure what the problem is now though but it WAS working in the beginning.

What started happening, and I had to quit Proxomitron all together since a bypass didn't even help.

When I go to a web site it started showing the code of the page instead of the page itself. For example, coming here, I got...

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 00:20:06 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_perl/1.24_01 (+mod_gzip/1.3.14.6e)
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: text/html PrxRealOpen=window.open; function PrxNullWin(){this.window;} function PrxOpen(url,nam,atr){return(new PrxNullWin());} window.open=PrxOpen;
function NoError(){return(true);} onerror=NoError;
function NoBox(txt){ return(1);} window.alert=NoBox; window.confirm=NoBox; window.prompt=NoBox;function submit(){return(NULL);}
function moveTo(){return true;}fun

ANd so on... Any idea?
