ProxyOverride issue

Post by bortero »

I need to bypass our proxy-server to grant our patrons access to an online database, the setting in my ini-file looks like this:

ProxyOverride=160.92.109.213;<local>

the 160 etc address being the address of the database concerned.

pwb does not appear to follow this directive, it keeps on going through the proxy.

however, if I change the setting in the IE control panel (connections, proxy, advanced etc.), it does work.

what am I doing wrong?

Since PWB uses the IE engine, you can use the Control Panel Applet Internet Options to set up the proxy.

In PWB you can acheive similar results by using the proxy settings. Just be sure to enable the setting before you use them by setting use custom to true.

[Proxy]
UseCustom=True
ProxyEnable=True
ProxyServer=your.proxy.server:8080
ProxyOverride=160.92.109.213;<local>
AutoConfigURL=

When the use custom is enbled PWB sets the registry setting in a similar fashion as the Internet Options applet.

aha!
thanks a lot, it was, as usual, right in front of me, I had ProxyEnable set to true, but UseCustom not.
