Proxy support is provided in Amaya by the W3C Reference Library. You use environment variables to tell Amaya whether you want to use a Proxy on a specific domain, server, URL, etc. These variables include:
These variables take on a list of URL-like data, separated by colons. For example, to use the HTTP proxy groucho.marx.edu, running on port 1028, you would set up the proxy variable as follows (giving here below for a Unix tcsh):
setenv http_proxy http://groucho.marx.edu:1028
Now, if you don't want to use a proxy while accessing the harpo.marx.edu site, type in the following line:
setenv no_proxy harpo.marx.edu
