Fire Door has a full HTTP, FTP and Real Audio proxy capability for Web Browsers. This page allows items associated with the proxy to be configured.
The HTTP Port parameter sets the port which Fire Door uses for the proxy. This is the same port as that used by the programming interface and is set on the Global Configuration page. The default value is 1082.
The Username and Password fields allow you to control access to the Fire Door proxy. Without the password, a user cannot use the proxy capability of Fire Door.
This parameter controls the information passed to the web server by the proxy. When checked the client remains completely anonymous.
This parameter controls how the HTTP proxy system does FTP data exchange. This may need to be changed if there is an additional fire wall that the machine Fire Door is executing on needs to pass through to access the internet.
This parameter is the name or IP address of a machine that the HTTP proxy can use as its proxy. Thus you may leverage the caching of a proxy server that your ISP may be providing.
This parameter indicates the port number to use for the Real Audio proxy. The Real Audio player version 2 to later may be configured to use this port to pass audio data through the fire wall. The default value for this port is 7070.
This indicates the port for the FTP proxy. Note that this is not the same as the FTP proxy that may be set within a web browser. This is a proxy that may be used with FTP clients such as WS_FTP or NCFTP. The default value is 2121.
An FTP client may have the proxy relay FTP commands to another host by using either the new "OPEN hostname" command or specifying "name@host" or "host!name" in the standard USER command.
