proxy server and java applets

[pmsbony]

I am trying to access a website we have created that is hosted remotely. We are having issues accessing it over the web through our proxy server. The applet in the web page uses the sun JRE 1.3.02 this installs fine, but the only way to get any data back whilst the proxy is on is to first remove the proxy setting from the client machine internet settings to get it to work, (we are using IE5) and then once that has been done you can reconnect it to the proxy server and it works correctly.

This process has to be performed everytime the applet is amended even slightly.

this workaround is not satisfactory, but being relatively new to proxy server i do not know of anyway to sort it.

I have set my proxy to not block any traffic on port 80

You can try excluding your host's address from the Proxy settings, either from the server or at the client end.

No familiar with the server but at the client...

Tools\Internet Options\Connections\Lan Settings\Proxy Server\Advanced\Exceptions

Hope it helps.

thanks for the advice, but I have tried this already, it works, but is simply a different flavour of what I have done already, I want to set it up so that I can view it through the proxy, so permanently taking it out of the proxt settings is not really an option.

I'd be looking to wind back the Time to Live setting on the specific web page from within Proxy Server.

MSKB suggests that you can explicitly set the TTL for an object....

"If the administrator for the Proxy server sets an explicit TTL for a particular object (this can be done as described in Appendix D of the online documentation), then this time will be used." Ref: MSKB Article ID: Q164039

Set the TTL short to something manageable (a trade off between getting a refreshed page within a short time and the load of having to go out to the net more often to get the new copy of the page)

Best of Luck
