    <p>Use the <b>HTTPProxy</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> to use <keyword tag="http">HTTP</keyword> <glossary tag="server">servers</glossary> from behind a <glossary tag="firewall">firewall</glossary>.</p><p/><p><b>Value:</b></p><p>The <b>HTTPProxy</b> consists of a <glossary tag="disabled">host</glossary> and <glossary tag="port">port</glossary> number, separated by a colon. The <i>host</i> is the <glossary tag="IP address">IP address</glossary> of the <glossary tag="proxy server">proxy</glossary> <glossary tag="server">server</glossary>. The <i>portNumber</i> is the network <glossary tag="port">port</glossary> to send requests to. (Generally, <glossary tag="port">port</glossary> 80 is used for <keyword tag="http">HTTP</keyword> requests.)</p><p/><p><b>Comments:</b></p><p>Normally, when an application requests a web document, the request goes directly to the HTTP server that hosts the document. If your computer is behind a network firewall or if the HTTP server is blocked in some other way, the request must be sent to a proxy server, which fetches the document from the host and then pass it back to your system.</p><p/><p>If the <b>HTTPProxy</b> <glossary tag="property">property</glossary> is empty, requests are sent directly to the <glossary tag="disabled">host</glossary> <glossary tag="server">server</glossary> and no <glossary tag="proxy server">proxy</glossary> is used. This is the <keyword tag="default">default</keyword> setting. (On Windows systems, if a <glossary tag="proxy server">proxy server</glossary> is set in the <glossary tag="registry">registry</glossary>, that setting is used as the <keyword tag="default">default</keyword>.)</p>
