Permit use of proxy server? (HttpRequest class)
The Proxy settable method permits the use of proxy servers with the HttpRequest object.
If you specify a proxy server by setting Proxy, subsequent Get, Post, and Send calls use this proxy server. If referenced by an HttpRequest object, Proxy returns the current proxy server (or a zero length string, if no proxy was set).
Syntax
%currentString = httpRequest:Proxy httpRequest:Proxy = newString
Syntax terms
| %currentString | The string or Longstring variable for the assignment of the current value of Proxy. If no Proxy value has been set, currentString is assigned a zero-length string. |
|---|---|
| httpRequest | A previously defined and instantiated HttpRequest object. |
| newString | Identifies the proxy server to use, and is of form:
[Protocol://]Host[:Port]
|
Usage notes
- If Proxy is set multiple times, the most recent setting is used as the proxy server.

- The current proxy setting can be cleared with RemoveProxy.
