[SOLVED] prism.exe attempting to contact zimbra/yahoo-server

[Kallisti]

Hi!

When trying to get proxying working with ZD i realised that prism.exe contacts 76.13.17.53:443. Why is it contacting www1.zimbra.mail.vip.ac4.yahoo.net over imap? Automatic update check?

auto update check. currently we don't have a UI to turn it off. it's hourly.

As I'm sure others might wonder - to manually keep ZD from updating:

Linux:
<install>/linux/prism/extensions/prism-runtime\@developer.mozilla.org/defaults/preferences/preferences.js

Windows:
<install>/win32/prism/extensions/prism-runtime@developer.mozilla.org/defaults/preferences/preferences.js

Mac:
<install>/macos/prism/Prism.app/Contents/Resources/extensions/prism-runtime\@developer.mozilla.org/defaults/preferences/preferences.js

Change this to false:

pref("app.update.auto", true);

Reload

// update service stuff
//pref("app.update.lastUpdateDate.background-update-timer", 0);
pref("app.update.enabled", true);
pref("app.update.auto", true);
pref("app.update.mode", 3);
pref("app.update.silent", false);

pref("app.update.timer", 60000); //default=600000
pref("app.update.interval", 3600); //default=86400
pref("app.update.idletime", 60); 
pref("app.update.nagTimer.download", 3600); //default=86400
pref("app.update.nagTimer.restart", 3600); //default=86400

pref("app.update.url", "https://www.zimbra.com/aus/zdesktop/update.php?chn=beta&ver=0.90&bid=1278&bos=win32&loc=en-US");
pref("app.update.url.manual", "http://www.zimbra.com/products/desktop.html");
pref("app.update.url.details", "http://www.zimbra.com/products/desktop.html");
pref("app.update.log.all", true);

This is slightly off question from Zimbra desktop. Which proxy application can be used to to log applications accessing websites. Is there any popular light weight freeware available for same ?

[Kallisti]

I saw it using the trial-ware program Proxifier. I guess there are other programs out there to just monitor but I have not found any freeware programs doing proxying (as discussed in http://www.zimbra.com/forums/general-questions/20580-zimbra-desktop-proxy-support.html).
