HTTPProxy

Type

property

Summary

Specifies a proxy server to be used for HTTP requests.

Syntax

set the HTTPProxy to <host> : <portNumber>

Description

Use the HTTPProxy property to use HTTP servers from behind a firewall.

Normally, when an application requests a web document, the request goes directly to the HTTP server that hosts the document. If your computer is behind a network firewall or if the HTTP server is blocked in some other way, the request must be sent to a proxy server, which fetches the document from the host and then pass it back to your system.

If the HTTPProxy property is empty, requests are sent directly to the host server and no proxy is used. This is the default setting. (On Windows systems, if a proxy server is set in the registry, that setting is used as the default.)

Cross-platform note

This setting will be ignored by the Web engine, with platform configured proxy being used instead.

Examples

set the HTTPProxy to "127.0.0.0:80"
