Connecting to SC Server through proxy

[Codeus]

Hi there,

We are just trialling SuperContainer for use in a product that will be hosted on the internet and connect to from users in schools.

Users are connecting via local authority 'grids' which include filtering and proxy services, there are very few open ports so we have SC running as integrated with IIS on port 80.

It all seems to work great when connecting from off-network machines, but users in school receive the message: -

Could not connect to SuperContainer server: java.io.IOException: Unable to connect to http://myserver.com/SuperContainer/

Verify that the port number is correct. For standard usage, the default port is 8020. For tomcat deployment the default port is 80.

The server itself is not on the local authority network and the problem is only with clients which are.

All clients are able to see the www.myserver.com/SuperContainer/ frontpage no problem.

Any suggestions how we can work around this?

Kind regards.

It sounds like the proxy is not allowing Java user-agents.

One workaround is to use SuperContainer in "noapplet" mode, which disables the Java applet and presents a HTML only page. To do this use "style=noapplet" parameter at the end of your URL.

That did the trick, thanks very much for the quick reply :)
