Set up your browser to use the ICTP proxy server
Browser specific instructions (where possible) for the proxy configuration
General instructions
Basically, there are three options:
- Automatic detection: Some browsers (Internet Explorer and Firefox) can be set to automatically detect the settings which should work.
- Automatic configuration script: Here you pass the browser
the URL of a script file that contains the necessary information.
This URL is
http://wpad.ictp.it/wpad.dat.
- Manual configuration: This means you tell the browser the
host name of the proxy server - namely
proxy.ictp.it- and the port number3128.
Some browsers in UNIX, like lynx, check the environment
variable http_proxy. Thus, before starting the browser,
set it using one of the following commands (depending on the UNIX
shell you are using):
setenv http_proxy http://proxy.ictp.it:3128/
export http_proxy=http://proxy.ictp.it:3128/
