net-HttpProxyServer

HttpProxyService (available starting in NiagaraAX-3.4) 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:

add it to your station (under the Services node, for example)
configure the following properties in the Property Sheet view:
- Status
  
  This display-only property displays the status of the Http Proxy Service.
- Fault Cause
  
  This display-only property provides an error message that indicates the reason for a fault.
- Enabled
  
  This property has a true (enabled) and false (disabled) option.
- Server
  
  This property provides a text field for entering the address of the proxy server you are connecting to.
- Port
  
  This property is for specifying the port number for communicating with the proxy server.
- Exclusions
  
  This text field allows you to designate addresses that are allowed to be contacted directly, therefore “excluding” them from having to be contacted through the proxy server. The default addresses in the field are typical addresses followed by a slash(/) and the subnet mask designation.
- Authentication Scheme
  
  This property provides the following two options:
  - None
    
    no authentication is required at the proxy server when this option is set.
  - Basic
    
    basic authentication is required at the proxy server when this option is set.
- User
  
  This is the login name to be used when authentication is set to Basic.
- Password
  
  This is the password text that is to be used when authentication is set to Basic.
