    I have a proxy written in C++ but i can't get it to work properly.When i run the .exe and set it to listen on port 80 the only addreess for which it will return the HTTP headers is 127.0.0.1. Anyone know how exactly i set my browser and proxy so that the proxy will read the HTTP headers for every page i open? Any help gratefully appreciated.

    Are you running one of those horrible Windows personal firewalls, that blocks on a per-app basis?

    no i have ZoneAlarm running but the .exe is given permission to run.Think i just need to know what exactly i set as the proxy in firefox? Should it be entered under socks host for example?

    Not unless it's a socks proxy.

    Got it working by setting proxy to 127.0.0.1 on prt 8080.
    Another question can i use two proxys at the same time i.e my own proxy and the network proxy?
