68 How to route past FireWalls? (proxies)

    

Version 1.3 of AMosaic and higher supports proxies so that you can talk through a
firewall router. To do so you must set some environment variables on the Amiga.
Here is a list that Stefan posted:

open a shell window and type:

 Setenv HTTP_PROXY   http://proxy.domain.foo.bar/

 Setenv ftp_PROXY    http://proxy.domain.foo.bar/

 Setenv gopher_PROXY http://proxy.domain.foo.bar/

 Setenv wais_PROXY   http://proxy.domain.foo.bar/

where proxy.domain.foo.bar should be replaced by the domain name of your WWW proxy
gateway.
