- Proxy Client is a series of Microsoft Windows DLLs that
extends the functionality of the Windows Socket (WinSock) stack, allowing it to work
successfully in the WinProxy environment. Proxy Client intercepts calls from WinSock
applications to the Windows Socket (WinSock) stack and converts them to calls to the
Microsoft Proxy Server.
- Proxy Client resides between ClockWatch and the WinSock stack. It
converts socket calls to communicate to the WinProxy Server service running on the
Microsoft Proxy Server.
