Q1140100: Is there some kind of tracing possible with ActiveSocket? I want this for troubleshooting purposes.
You can use the 'LogFile' property of the Http object, to enable ActiveSocket's trace option.
If you need further logging, you can enable the logging option of the WinHTTP library of the OS. You can do this by using the 'winhttptracecfg.exe' resource utility: WINHTTPTRACECFG.EXE -e 1 - l c:\temp\winhttptrace.log

No, the Http object makes use of the WINHTTP libraries which do not support these settings. You have to specifiy the setting either manually using the 'ProxyServer', 'ProxyAccount' or 'ProxyPassword' or using the 'proxycfg.exe' system tool.
