Sets Java's web proxy properties, so that tasks and code run in the same JVM can have through-the-firewall access to remote web sites, and remote ftp sites.
Description
Sets Java's web proxy properties, so that tasks and code run in the same JVM can have through-the-firewall access to remote web sites, and remote ftp sites. You can nominate an http and ftp proxy, or a socks server, reset the server settings, or do nothing at all.
Examples
<setproxy/>do nothing
<setproxy proxyhost="firewall"/>set the proxy to firewall:80
<setproxy proxyhost="firewall" proxyport="81"/>set the proxy to firewall:81
<setproxy proxyhost=""/>stop using the http proxy; don't change the socks settings
<setproxy socksproxyhost="socksy"/>use socks via socksy:1080
<setproxy socksproxyhost=""/>stop using the socks server.
You can set a username and password for http with the proxyHost and proxyPassword attributes. On Java1.4 and above these can also be used against SOCKS5 servers.
Attribute | Description | Type | Requirement |
nonproxyhosts | A list of hosts to bypass the proxy on. These should be separated with the vertical bar character '|'. Only in Java 1.4 does ftp use this list. e.g. fozbot.corp.sun.com|*.eng.sun.com | String | Optional |
proxyhost | the HTTP/ftp proxy host. Set this to "" for the http proxy option to be disabled | String | |
proxypassword | Set the password for the proxy. Used only if the proxyUser is set. | String | |

proxyuser | set the proxy user. Probably requires a password to accompany this setting. Default="" | String | |
socksproxyhost | The name of a Socks server. Set to "" to turn socks proxying off. | String | |
