Another awkward thing that FreeProxy does is to slam the connection
shut after sending its 407 response, at least in Basic auth mode. (It
keeps the connection alive in digest mode, which makes sense to me,
because that's a more stateful system.)
It was surprisingly easy to make the proxy code able to tolerate this!
I've set it up so that a ProxyNegotiator can just set its 'reconnect'
flag on return from the negotiation coroutine, and the effect will be
that proxy.c makes a new connection to the same proxy server before
doing anything else. In particular, you can set that flag _and_ put
data in the output bufchain, and there's no problem - the output data
will be queued directly into the new socket.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
