Setting a Proxy


It is useful for the IDE to have a web connection. The IDE periodically checks the web to see if new or updated modules are available. Also, some IDE functions such as Validate XML might rely on resources on the web. In addition, some Help menu items are links to documentation on the web.

If you work behind a firewall, you might need to configure the IDE to use a proxy for HTTP connections to the web. The IDE attempts to use your system's proxy. If that does not work, you can set the proxy manually.

To manually set a proxy in the IDE:

1.

Choose Tools | Options.

2.

On the left side of the Options dialog box, click General.

3.

In the Proxy section of the dialog box, select the HTTP Proxy radio button, and fill in values for the proxy host and port.
