I have an Arduino with an Ethernet Shield.
How can I connect it to the Internet across a firewall proxy?
For example, the Arduino Ethernet library has only this reference to demonstrate how to connect your board to the Internet but no clue how to do it across firewall proxies, etc.
Repeated from Arduino help pages.
#include <Ethernet.h>
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
byte ip[] = { 10, 0, 0, 177 };
byte server[] = { 64, 233, 187, 99 }; // Google
Client client(server, 80);
void setup()
{
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
Serial.begin(9600);
delay(1000);
Serial.println("connecting...");
if (client.connect()) {
Serial.println("connected");
client.println("GET /search?q=arduino HTTP/1.0");
client.println();
} else {
Serial.println("connection failed");
}
}
void loop()
{
if (client.available()) {
char c = client.read();
Serial.print(c);
}
if (!client.connected()) {
Serial.println();
Serial.println("disconnecting.");
client.stop();
for(;;)
;
}
}
As can be seen, there is no way here to resolve my TCP connections across a firewall proxy.
Also I am just curious how this whole process of TCP connection is resolved across a firewall proxy in the above context, please put some suitable reference too.
