Hello,

I use a script which encodes a query (for books on Amazon) and builds the url to reach after signing it ; it brings back either an xml file, either an html one in a filemaker webviewer, files I have to parse to get various informations of the book.

That runs fine -and I must thank F. Seipel who helped me in that project- but a new problem occurs if the computer is behind a proxy nothing is in return !

What parameters are necessary to include in the url to pass through the proxy, and how ?

Excuse my english which is not very pure !

This has to do with the settings of your proxy server. You will need to make sure that java clients are allowed to go through the proxy, which is a feature that may be disabled by default.

Hello Smef,

Thanks for your answer, but I need some complements

- when you say I "need to make sure that java clients are allowed to go through the proxy, which is a feature that may be disabled by default", that supposes, I think, the user enters in the configuration of the proxy ; in my case it's not possible !

- I found on that link what I understood as a possibility to do that from the javascript by including these lines

Properties props = System.getProperties();

props.put("http.proxyHost", "proxyhostname");

props.put("http.proxyPort", "proxyhostport");

proxyhostname and proxyhostport could be issued from the Filemaker database, but I dont'hnow how to write this in the scriptmaster I use.

After that I have 2 questions :

1. Is that idea right ?

2. Would you accept to have a look on that database and its script ? I'd give a link to download it.
