Feature request: Proxy support
Rightload is fantastic, but I need to connect through a proxy. My office PC uses isaserver, so this feature should accept text as "isaserver:8080", not only IP address as "100.100.100.70:8080".
Thank you.

I'm behind a corporate proxy that requires HTTP authentication. Please support this feature.

Thanks!

Any news about proxy support in RightLoad?

Is there any way I can help? I'm not a developer but I can be a beta tester.

For FTP servers, this option already exists in a way, but I have never tested it. Since it is not included in the option screen, you have to edit the XML configuration manually, which may break your installation. But if you still want to give it a shot, here is a short manual.

- Close Rightload
- Open your config.xml file in an editor (if you did not change the config directory manually, you can type notepad %appdata%\rightload\config.xml)
- Look for a line beginning with <Server Protocol="0" Description="NAME" towards the end of the file. NAME should be the name of the server you want to have proxy support for
- Look for the text ProxyType="0" in that line. Change the 0 to:
1 if it is a UserSite proxy
2 if it is a Site proxy
3 if it is a Open proxy
4 if it is a UserPass proxy
5 if it is a Transparent proxy
- Add the following text at the end of the line, right before the closing > or />:
ProxyHost="" ProxyPort="" ProxyUsername="" ProxyPassword=""
- Write the settings necessary for you proxy server between the corresponding quotation marks
- Start Rightload and try to upload to the server
- Let me know how it goes

If we can figure this out, I can add a more convenient option for this in the next version.

There's no Server Protocol section at all in my config.xml.

Code:

<Rightload Version="1.8.0">
  <Settings>
    <SimpleMenu>False</SimpleMenu>
    <Language></Language>
    <DefaultTag>0</DefaultTag>
    <AutoUpdate>False</AutoUpdate>
    <History>True</History>
    <Overwrite>0</Overwrite>
    <DirectoryCreation>0</DirectoryCreation>
    <TransferType>0</TransferType>
    <TransferTypeAsciiExtensions>.cgi,.pl,.sh</TransferTypeAsciiExtensions>
    <ThumbName>$file_thumb$ext</ThumbName>
    <ThumbQuality>90</ThumbQuality>
    <ThumbDefaultAction>0</ThumbDefaultAction>
    <ThumbWidth>300</ThumbWidth>
    <ThumbHeight>200</ThumbHeight>
    <ThumbInfo>True</ThumbInfo>
    <ThumbFrame>True</ThumbFrame>
    <ResizeEnable>False</ResizeEnable>
    <ResizeQuality>90</ResizeQuality>
    <ResizeMaxWidth>800</ResizeMaxWidth>
    <ResizeMaxHeight>600</ResizeMaxHeight>
    <Log>True</Log>
    <Minimize>False</Minimize>
    <AutoURLPreview>False</AutoURLPreview>
    <AutoClose>False</AutoClose>
    <AutoCopy>False</AutoCopy>
    <KeepOpen>False</KeepOpen>
    <RememberWindowPositions>True</RememberWindowPositions>
    <PassHash></PassHash>
  </Settings>
  <Plugins>
    <Facebook Enabled="1"/>
    <Imageshack Enabled="1" IsDefault="1"/>
  </Plugins>
  <Servers/>
</Rightload>

What I'm missing?

You need to define the server as a normal FTP server first. Sorry for not making that more clear!
