I need to use an http proxy.
In the "Proxy Firewall" settings in preferences, there is a box for me to enter the WWW proxy host and the port, but there isn't a radio button next to it to tell it to use that proxy.
Is this a problem, or am i misunderstanding something?

I've looked in the help documentation and there is a screenshot of a similar absence of a radio button, but there is no mention of how the WWW proxy works. It explains SOCKS and Telnet, but that's it.

All I really want is a mud client that supports http proxies.
So if one of those exists, i'd like to know that as well...

Unfortunately, that WWW proxy is not used for connecting to MUDs. It is simply used for fetching URLs, auto-upgrading zMUD, MUD Connector, etc.

Take a look at a program called HTTPort. It will allow you to use zMUD when only an HTTP proxy is available. Search google.com for 'HTTPort' to find it.

Hopefully that helps.
