Hello,

I really like the HTTPS proxy support in the FlashFXP 1.4 version, in fact I had pointed out the data connection bypassing the proxy bug in 1.3 by email...

So heres a suggestion. Not everybody has a proxy capable of supporting the CONNECT method. Would be nice if you could add support for using the GET / PUT keywords with ftp (slower but a bonus for guys for whom this is blocked)

Example

To get a directory listing,
GET ftp://ftp.ftpsite.com/burn/the/walls/down/ HTTP/1.0

etc etc, you get the drift.

Cool program !

However.. The primary function of FlashFXP is site to site transfers, using those methods with a proxy would not permit site to site transfers. Also every brand of proxy uses it's own html formatted file listing, this would require multiple parsers to handle each format.
