Setting Proxy Preferences
Cosmo Create allows you to configure your proxies in order to get
outside your local networking firewall to download content from the
Internet.
Note: If Netscape is set up to get outside the firewall, Cosmo
Create uses Netscape's preferences and you don't need to set them up by
hand; this panel provides you with the opportunity to do so if you
wish.
To set your proxy preferences, follow these steps:
-
Choose File > Preferences
-
Click the Proxies tab on the Preferences dialog tab deck.
-
Specify which behavior you want to change. A firewall is a system that
allows applications to get outside of their local network to an
external network such as the Internet. SOCKS and HTTP Proxy servers are
two different kinds of firewalls. Your site can have either SOCKS or an
HTTP Proxy server or both. In the event both kinds of firewalls are
available:
-
To change the name of your SOCKS server, change the information in the
field next to SOCKS server.
-
To change the port address of your SOCKS server, change the information
in the Port field next to the SOCKS server.
-
To change the name of your SOCKS Name server, change the information in
the field next to SOCKS Name Server.
-
To change the name of your HTTP proxy, change the information in the
field next to HTTP Proxy.
-
To change the port address of your HTTP proxy, change the information
in the Port field next to the HTTP Proxy.
-
To change the name of your No Proxy, change the information in the
field next to No Proxy. (The No Proxy field is for sites using
the HTTP proxy mechanism as a firewall. Systems in the No Proxy field
are not passed on to the proxy and are assumed to be inside the
firewall.)
