Configuring a Client to connect via a HTTP Proxy

Configuration steps to connect via a HTTP proxy:

• Step 1:  Add the location of the proxy into FGLPROFILE
• Step 2:  Define the list of host names the client will not have to connect via a proxy

Step 1 : Add the location of the proxy into FGLPROFILE

To configure a client to connect via a HTTP proxy located at IP 10.0.0.170 and listening on port number 8080, add the following to the FGLPROFILE file:

proxy.http.location = "10.0.0.170:8080"

Note: To configure the client to connect via a HTTPS proxy, replace http with https.

Step 2 : Define the list of host names the client will not have to connect to via a proxy

To not connect via a proxy for each host beginning with www.mycompany.com or www.google., do the following:

proxy.http.list = "www.mycompany.com;www.google."

Note: The same operation is available for a HTTPS proxy; replace http with https.
