Address of proxy server to use
This field is used to specify the proxy server or a proxy configuration file.
A proxy server is like a gateway between your computer and the Internet.
A proxy configuration file is offered by some network providers as an alternative.
If you type the address of a proxy configuration file in this field all your proxy
settings are centrally maintained and serviced by the network provider.
For example a proxy server is shut down for maintenance reasons. Then the proxy
configuration file allows the connection to alternative servers. Proxy configuration
files are frequently used in complex corporate networks to optimize the network
bandwidth and to control the data flow.
Port of that proxy
This is the port number of the proxy server.
Proxy type
Specifies the type of proxy server.
Do not use proxies for domains beginning with
Prevents your browser to enter these domains via a proxy, e.g. list domains belonging
to your intranet.
Donīt use any proxy for local addresses
This option is used for fine-tuning of WebWasher in an intranet. Instead of typing
a URL in the browser (e.g. 'http://server_name.fooo.com') you can also enter the
name of a local server (e.g. 'server_name'). WebWasher is able to contact the local
server directly without using a proxy. Activating this option speeds up internal
connections and reduces the load on the proxy server.
Number of retries on server overload when connected directly
Specifies the maximum number of trials WebWasher is performing to fetch an object
directly from the Internet. The default is '2'. This option allows to circumvent
temporary transmission problems.
Normally the browser attempts to retrieve an object for one time only. In the
case of a temporary interruption the Web page is loaded incompletely. By increasing
this value WebWasher repeats the requests until the maximum number of requests is
reached or the Web page is loaded completely.
