I'm using WinBuilder 080, entered my proxy settings and selected HTTP for ping. Then click the "Download list of servers" button.

The program is then querying:

GET http://updates.boot-...der_Updates.ini HTTP/1.1

resulting in a 200 OK response, then it queries:

GET HTTP://google.com:80/bla.bla HTTP/1.1

which fails with a 404 error obviously.

Eventually a dialogue box appears to inform me that I need to be connected to the internet.

What can I do to use the program behind the proxy?

The behaviour is part of an internal check:

try

    INetLog.debug('HTTP Ping: Get HTTP://' + URL + '/bla.bla');

    IndyComponent.Get('HTTP://' + URL + '/bla.bla');

    INetLog.debug('HTTP Ping result: ' + InttoStr(IndyComponent.ResponseCode));

    // The result may be additional dependant on the HTTP response code?

    Result := True;

  except

    on e: Exception do

    begin

      INetLog.Error('HTTP Ping', e);

      if e.Message = 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found' then

        Result := True

      else

        _Error := e.Message;

    end;

  end;

As to be seen the error 404 brings a True result, meaning 'Works'.

I currently have no idea what's going wrong with your host.

Maybe you test with the WBProxy program. It shares the proxy configuration with WinBuilder.exe.
