Proxy Settings

[wgragg]

We are trying to move from XP on PC's to Win 7 on thin clients. I am also trying to use the new v3. of PWB. I have a virtual Win7 machine set up to test and have been working through the PWB.ini file, making changes and testing. I've now hit a roadblock.

On v2 and XP, I was able to set a dummy proxy server and an exception to the two sites I want accessed wit PWB. I have tried that on v3, and it isn't working. When I put the following in the ini file and fire up PWB, I get a "Navigation to the Web Page Has Been Canceled" screen.

[Proxy]
UseCustom=True
ProxyEnable=True
ProxyServer=dummy.proxy.com
ProxyOverride=ipac.bcslibrary.org;syndetics.com
AutoConfigURL=

Does anyone have any ideas on what may be happening? I need these restricted to these sites as I don't want our library patrons surfing the web on the computers, or going to clickable links from our catalog.

Thanks,
Wendell

PWB v2 and PWB v3 share the same back end, only the GUI is different. I suspect the issue is with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer but have not tested this theory. Have you tried copying your PWB v2 onto Windows 7 and see if the fake proxy works?

I would suggest using the PWB URL filter to keep PWB restricted to a list of web sites.
