Pros
- A comprehensive suite of tools covering all major Internet technologies.
- Small and lightweight components with no dependencies on external libraries.
- Native development components for all supported platforms and component technologies.
Cons
- The upgrade process is not the best
- Does not come with full source code
- The HTTP control could not create an SSL connection over an http proxy
Likelihood to Recommend
The HTTPS control definitely supports proxies - The HTTPS control contains a ProxySSL property which is used to tell the control whether or not to use SSL for the connection with the proxy itself. The customer is probably not setting the value to the appropriate proxy type. I have used [/n software IPWorks] and they do work very well. I also agree that the upgrade process is not the best. I have contacted support of several occasions and they are helpful. They even provided a compile that help on a Delphi upgrade when they could have charged me for an upgrade.
