]]> Comment on Scripting Network / TCP Connections in PowerShell by Arjan http://www.leeholmes.com/blog/2009/10/28/scripting-network-tcp-connections-in-powershell/#comment-119738 Arjan Fri, 04 May 2012 08:05:55 +0000 http://www.leeholmes.com/blog/ScriptingNetworkTCPConnectionsInPowerShell.aspx#comment-119738 Just a short inquiry about this great script! I'm having a problem using an input file for my telnet commands. When I run the script in interactive mode, all works well, but when I put my commands in a text file and use -InputObject "c:\telnet.txt", this doesn't seem to work. I'm probably using -InputObject incorrectly, so I'm hoping you can give sort me out on this one :) Many thanks! Arjan. Just a short inquiry about this great script!

Never knew we could actually do that with powershell. Would this also work on Livejournal posts? I will probably try it during the weekend. Good one!

WIMGAPI uses native code and we need to use PInvoke technique to access the interfaces in PowerShell.

You might try checking the $proxy URL. Either that is relative, or perhaps the proxy itself is acting up.

Internal sites work OK. The credentials supplied in $cred and proxy server specified in $proxy are valid. Also I don't see what is 'relative' about the request below! Invoke-WebRequest -uri "http://www.google.com" -proxy $proxy -proxycredential $cred Any ideas?
