These programs receive &HTTP; and &FTP; requests, retrieve the +relevant files from the internet, and pass them on to the client +computer that made the requests. + +When you have configured a proxy, &HTTP; and/or &FTP; requests +are re-routed through the computer that is acting as a proxy server. +However, you can also select specific hosts which should be contacted +directly, rather than through the proxy server. If you are on a local +network, for example, access to local hosts probably doesn't need to +go through a proxy server. + +You should only need to configure a proxy server if your network +administrator requires it (if you are a dial-up user, that would be +your internet service provider or ISP). Otherwise, +especially if you are feeling a bit confused about this proxy +business, but everything seems to be fine with your internet +connection, you don't need to change anything. + +Please note that using proxy servers is optional, but has the +benefit or advantage of giving you faster access to data on the +internet. + +If you are uncertain whether or not you need to use a proxy +server to connect to the internet, please consult with your internet +service provider's setup guide or your system administrator. + + + + + +Use + + + +Connect to the Internet directly + + +Select this option if you do not want to use a proxy server. + + + + +If you have decided to use a proxy, you have several methods to +configure the settings for it. + + + +Automatically detected script file + + +Select this option if you want the proxy setup configuration +script file to be automatically detected and downloaded. +This option only differs from the next choice in that it +does not require you to supply the location of +the configuration script file. Instead, it will be automatically +downloaded using Web Access Protocol Discovery +(WAPD). + +If you have a problem using this setup, please consult the +FAQ section at http://www.konqueror.org for +more information. + + + + +Specified script file + +Select this option if your proxy support is provided through a +script file located at a specific address. You can then enter the +address in the location text box, or use the folder +icon to browse to it. + + + + +Preset environment variables + +Some systems are setup with $HTTP_PROXY to allow +graphical as well as non-graphical applications to share the same +proxy configuration information. +If you know this applies to you, select this option and click on +the Setup... button to provide the environment +variable names used to set the address of the proxy server(s). + + + + +Manually specified settings + +Select this option, and click on the +Setup... to manually setup the location of the +proxy servers to be used. + +If you choose this option, another dialog will pop up. + +The complete addressing information for the proxy includes both +the internet address and a port number. You should enter these into +the relevant text boxes. The arrow button copies +the information from the HTTP line to the +FTP line, in order to help save some +typing. + +If there are hosts which you can connect to without going +through the proxy server, you can press Add to +add the names of these hosts, separated by in the text box labeled +No Proxy For:. For example, hosts that are on +your local network can probably be contacted directly. + +You can also choose Only use proxy for entries in this +list. + +Check this box to reverse the use of the exception list, &ie; +the proxy servers will only be used when the requested &URL; matches +one of the addresses listed here. + +This features is useful if all you need is a proxy to access a +few specific sites, for example, an internal intranet. If you have +more complex requirements you might want to use a configuration +script. + + + + + + + +<guilabel>Authorization</guilabel> + +Here you can choose between two types of authentication, if your +proxy requires it. You can have Prompt as +needed, the default, in which case &konqueror; will only +ask for a username or password if it needs to. + +The other option is Use automatic login. +Select this option if you have already set up a login entry for your +proxy server in the +$KDEDIR/share/config/kionetrc +file. + + + + +<guilabel>Options</guilabel> + + +Use persistent connections to proxy + +Use persistent connection to your proxy server. Keeps connection to proxy open, helps lower bandwidth/speed up connection. Enabling this option will require the proxy server's cooperation, if the proxy server does not support this, it will bring your internet to a stop. + + + + + + +&socks-kcontrol; + + + +
