HTTP Proxy settings for WIFI

I am trying to access the wifi at work which requires me to use a http proxy.
I can connect to the network in my company from my PC without any issues by giving the url in the lan settings
When I open the browser it asks for the user id and password and once I authenticate it allows me internet access
However I am having trouble mapping this into the iphone I realise I have two options i.e manual and auto
Can someone help me map these settings or direct me to a forum where some has done this successfully
Thanks.

Your post is not going to be seen by the Apple Engineers. This is a users forum. You should contact Apple Technical Services directly.
There is a new version of Apple Configuration Utility that just came out in the last two weeks. Manually setting the proxy settings isn't really very hard to do so I'm not sure what the concern is.

Http proxy authentication for JDev 10.1.3

Hi,
I found the http proxy settings in the "tools->preferences->Web Browser and Proxy" but there are no settings for the username and password. Is there some other way that I can add these.
The problem is that whenver JDeveloper wants to do some http stuff it (or something else is doing it) asks me for the proxy user name & password - this happens over and over again. If JDev is doing this then surely it should remember the username & password.
I sometimes get a JDeveloper dialog "waiting for the connection" come up over the proxy auth dialog and I have to cancel the function so I can authenticate, then re-request the function.
I wish I didn't have the proxy authentication but I have no choice in this dev environment. I do get to choose JDeveloper at least.
Regards,
Simon.

Hi,
I get it when I 'check for updates' and I get it again when I 'go to JavaDoc' - and this is the one where the "waiting for connection dialog" pops on top of the proxy log in and I have to cancel it to log in. Then all subsequent 'go to JavaDoc' requests go straight through.
I would prefer it if I could just configure (in proxy preferences) the username and password so it never asks me. I dont care if it less secure storing the password since I think authenticating proxies are a dumb idea anyway. If the password is not supplied then JDev can ask for it like it does now to keep the security-paranoid people happy.
Also, this morning I got this Exception which appeared at the same time I got a proxy auth window. When JDev finally started all my previously open windows were lost. No real problem but unexpected. Here is the stack dump:

How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?

Hello,
I am using HttpURLConnection to establish a HTTP connection . The connection pass through a proxy, and it requires security.
I know that I can set the proxy settings in the system properties, and this works perfect.
But I don't want to set the proxy settings in the system properties, because this proxy settings will be for ALL the URLs, and I just want for a few URLs.
How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?
Thanks

Contribute 4 - no proxy settings for outgoing CPS authorization

Does CS4 have any access to proxy settings for publishing
server identification?
There are three outgoing requests in Contribute:
1) FTP or SFTP --> this has a proxy setting
2) contribute browser -> this uses proxy settings inside
of Start->Settings->Control panel -> Internet Options
3) HTTPS: validating CPS un/pw -> this has no proxy
setting that I can find.

Thank you for the quick reply! But the solution provided by you, it seems, has still not been able to address my issue. I ran the program at command prompt with your said parameters, but the download still gave an error in the App window.
Also, is there some way of defining these parameters in the source code? I am keen in using NetBeans to run the program.
Cheers!

E75 HTTP/ HTTPS proxy settings

Q: Why can't I browse the web even though
the WLAN connection is working and the IP
settings are correct?
A: Check that you have defined the HTTP/ HTTPS proxy
settings correctly in the advanced settings of your
WLAN access point.
But how and where !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Its not VPN, cause yes VPN is a different ballgame.
On page 162 of the manual it tells you to check proxy settings, but does not give steps how and where, which is what i need.
Question 2: if one needs access to another machine in the same network, you normaly don't want to go through the proxy when browsing http. (hence you exlude them)
Thanks for the effort.

Configure proxy settings for WebEngine

I had no luck in finding any docs about how to configure the proxy server for a WebView/WebEngine.
I assume the system properties "http.proxyHost" and "http.proxyPort" are used if they are set, is this correct?
Is there also a way to configure the proxy settings for each WebEngine instance?
Regards,
Heiko

I am also getting this "error". The printer (8500 A910) connected to the web well enough that it went out and supposedly downloaded a new update, but then it was supposed to print a page showing the email address, but did not.
So I go in and try to set up the eprint, and it tells me it cannot connect to the sever and I'll need to enter a proxy address and port number. But my ISP's cable modems do NOT have any static IP address nor do they provide any sort of proxy service. Everything works just fine with "automatic discovery" (DHCP) for every computer in the house. No problems there.
So, since that's the case, of course I cannot look up some proxy address and port number in my web browser because they're all set up for "automatically detect settings".
What's baffling is that the printer connected to something at HP to download the "update", and it went through a process that appeared to be what I'd expect it to do if it was updating its firmware. But it won't connect to whatever it's supposed to connect to to have an email address assigned.
Does HP supply a proxy server? If so, what's its IP address or URL, and what port should a person set the printer to try to use?
UPDATE:
It appears that the HP site must have just been "down" for about six or seven hours while I was trying to get the printer to connect because it now connected and I got an email address asigned without needing to have any "proxy" stuff set up at all. It's a shame that the printer does not simply report "HP Site down - try again later" instead of reporting that you need to use a proxy when that's impossible.
"Now, on to the next problem which is that my emails to the assigned address are all bouncing with a "550 5.7.1 Command rejected" error!

HTTP Proxy setting for SOA server

Hi,
my intention is to enable SOA Server to connect through HTTP Proxy to external services. This occurred when I am trying to connect to Yahoo Mail Server, via User Messaging Service but it keep throwing connection time out. One of the possible solution is to make the service to connect via the HTTP Proxy server in our network.
There are no mention of how to setup HTTP Proxy connection for UMS, as well as SOA Server in any documents.
Please advice or direct me to the relevant solutions.
Appreciate any help rendered :)
yee thian

I have not worked in SoA server, but since it uses weblogic server underlying (I assume), you can try setting the -Dhttp.proxyHost , -Dhttp.proxyPort system properties ( https for secured URL's) to WLS to specify the proxy details. Also the product might not have the capability to pass user credentials for authentication at the proxy. The version of OSB we are using had this problem. To overcome this you might require to add the URL to the proxy free list in your proxy server. This prevents the proxy from prompting for the user name when you access that URL.

Strange info in "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains"

For my Mac Mini my Network IP Address always has a self-assigned 169.254 number that I cannot change. Strangely, this same IP number is similar to info that is in the Proxies section (of Network Settings) under "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains".
No matter what I do, this info (*,local, 169.254/16) appears in my Network Settings in the Proxies section under "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains". (I tried removing the info and it would cause the "Configure Proxies" selection to default to "Always Use PAC File". Had to go back and retrash all the plist files to have Proxies go back to "Configure Proxies-Manually". Still, the info (*,local, 169.254/16) continues to appear in the "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains" section and my IP address is always a 169.254 number.)
Comcast cable modem via direct hardwired Ethernet works fine with my other computer, so not the modem. Also, other computer does not have any info in the "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains" section.
Installed a fresh copy of OS X 11.5 on a new hard drive. Still the same problem.
I posted this issue before but only got one responder and the problem still exists. Any clues? Somebody must know about this stuff. Help please.
Thanks

When your Mac wakes up, it does not yet have an IP Addresss. It wants to send a request to a Router for an apprpriste IP address to use now. But it needs to have an IP address (like a return address) to receive any messages. So, ... wait for it,
... it (your Mac) makes one up. There are rules that ensure it is a random address, but they always start with 169.254. It is on the same subnet with any low-order 16 bits This is the "self-assigned" range of IP Addresses. This address is only good for talking on a local network segment, for things like asking for a valid IP Address from a DHCP-enabled Router.
In most cases, on most networks, the 169.254 self-assigned IP Address is replaced by a valid Local IP Address such as 192.168.xxx yyy or 10.0.xxx.yyy so quickly that you never even see the 169.254 Address.
If you do see the 169.254 Address, it can be read as "Nobody will talk to me" or "Nobody will give me an IP Address". When you have this IP Address for more than an instant, you should suspect bad cables for Ethernet connections, bad signal strength or interference for wireless, Router configuration problems, or Mac configuration problems.
Mac configuration problems are often solved by using the "Assist Me" button is System Preferences > Network and choosing to set up again.
Another diagnostic is to try using Network Utility and the Ping function, and Ping-ing the address of your Airport base Station, often 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or similar. This will tell you if the Router is reachable, or there are cabling/wirelss signal problems.
In this case, proxies are not an issue, and are simply a distraction from the real problems.

I have lost the correct proxy settings for the ethernet connection using Safari. How do I get back to the original ethernet proxy settings?

I changed the ethernet proxy settings for Safari on my Mac Pro, when I was in a particular place that required extra security. Now I cannot get the ethernet connection to work when back home. The wireless connection works fine. What are the original ethernet proxy settings. How do I make the changes?
Thanks

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click Change Settings next to Proxies. Select Automatically from the Configure pop up menu.
You may also have to select the Proxies tab. If any of the boxes are selected, deselect then click OK.

Bypassing proxy settings for IPv6-adresses.

My MacBook is currently connected both via IPv4 and IPv6, and I prefer using a squid-proxy when surfing. Alas, my proxy only supports IPv4.
In network preferences I can type in hosts to bypass proxy settings for, but I'd like to do this for every single IPv6 host. Any solutions?
Martin

The format should be comma-delimited, like:
<pre class=command>localhost, *.domain1.com, www.domain2.com</pre>
However, IIRC, Network Preferences is pretty tolerant - it'll accept most forms of input and will reformat it into something that makes sense to it.

Where can I read the proxy settings Firefox chose, when configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network"?

I would like to set my system network proxy settings to those, Firefox chose. Firefox is configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and this works fine. How can I read out the settings Firefox chose, so I can adapt these system?

Hello Richard,
Download MozBackup and make a backup of your bookmarks and passwords. Uninstall firefox and remove ALL folders with the name "Firefox".
Install Firefox and restore your bookmarks and passwords. Now you should have a fresh install so you have to make all settings again.

IPhone 6 problem with Wifi/Http Proxy settings being lost

In Settings/Wifi, you can set up a Manual Http Proxy
I have noticed a bug only seen on iPhone 6, where it doesn't store the Manual Http Proxy setting you enter.
e.g. You enter a Server and a Port number. If you then press Wi-Fi in top left to exit this screen, it doesn't store your settings and the Manual settting is not there when you come back into the screen.
This does not happen on the following devices
iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1
iPad Mini with iOS 7.1.2
iPad Air with iOS 8.1
It seems to be an iPhone 6 issue, not an iOS 8 issue, as it works in iOS 8 on other devices.
Anyone else noticed this?
Note: This "Manual Http Proxy" setting is used by Web Testers (such as me) when trying to use the program called Fiddler to setup access to development servers (on PC and Mac you edit the hosts file to achieve same thing)

I 've met a similar issue. It's about Auto proxy instead of Manual proxy in your case.
I solved it by chose 'Forget this network' then search that wifi, input password connect again.
I guess the reason might be the new iPhone's network connection is restored from back-up of old iPhone?
Anyway, reconnection solved my problem. Hope it works for you too!
