Setproxy Task

Setproxy Task 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.

Parameters

> Attribute | Description | Type | Requirement

> proxyhost | the HTTP/ftp proxy host. Set this to "" for the http proxy option to be disabled | 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
