net-HttpProxyServer

HttpProxyService is used to support connections to the Internet through a non-transparent proxy.

All services that make use of the bajax.baja.net.HttpConnection class will automatically roll over to using the proxy server once the HttpProxyService has been configured and enabled. The Weather Service is one of the services that is affected by this feature.

To use this component you must:

  • Open the net palette and drag HttpProxyServer to your station’s Services folder.

  • Configure the following properties in the Property Sheet view:
