ProxySwitch

• With a click on the symbol ProxySwitch you can change between the direct connection to the internet and a proxy configuration.
  
  You recognize the used connection by the symbol:
  • direct Internet connection
  • a proxy configuration (If you don't use symbols in the Firefox, the configuration name is then highlighted in addition.)

  Tool Tipp

  The name of the used configuration and the name after switching are displayed.
  The names indicate:

  • Direct: Direct Internet connection
  • Manual: Proxy configuration entered in the browser manually
  
  
• You can select a proxy configuration from the popup menu.
• You can edit the proxy configurations with the menu Edit.

• http, ssl, ftp, gopher and socks
  Enter the proxy for any required protocol.
• all
  The same proxy is used for all protocols.
• noProxy
  For the given domains the proxy shall not be used.
• url
  A script is used for the proxy configuration.

Every configuration has a definite name and starts with the bracket [ and ends with the bracket ].
This name is displayed in the popup menu.
The bracket [ and ] as well as every keyword must be in a new line.
According to the structure in the following example.

Example

   [MM3-WebAssistant
     http=127.0.0.1:8080
     ssl =127.0.0.1:8080
     ftp =127.0.0.1:8080
     noProxy=127.0.0.1:8888
   ]
   [localProxy
     all=192.168.0.1:8080
   ]
   [provider
     http=HTTP-Proxy of you provider
   ]
   [script
     url=Automatic proxy configuration URL
   ]
 

When switching over the proxy configuration a other homepage can be displayed. To this you indicate the homepage at the respective proxy configuration with the keyword homepage.

Example

  [MM3-WebAssistant
    http=...
 
    homepage=http://www.Proxy-Offline-Browser.com
  ]

Before you use the Offline Browser WebAssistant - Proxy Offline Browser, the cache of your browser should be deleted. With the keyword clear this is carried out automatically.

Example

  [MM3-WebAssistant
    http=...
 
    clear=cache
  ]

You can define short keys to switch between different proxy configurations.

• modifiers alt, control, shift, accel, meta (only for Macintosh)
  If you need several modifiers, then you separate these by comma.
• keycode
  • Only be used for printable characters e.g. a-z 0-9
  • Or special code start with VK_
    See: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XUL_Tutorial:Keyboard_Shortcuts

Note

Example

  [MM3-WebAssistant
    http=...

    modifiers=alt,control
    keycode=w
  ]

If you select a proxy configuration, then this is immediately used per default. With the keyword direct the select configuration is entered. The direct connection to the internet is used, however.

Example

  [MM3-WebAssistant
    http=...

    direct=yes
  ]

Note

If you use different networks with your laptop computer, then the required configuration can be determined automatically. There are two possibilities for it.

IP-Address determines proxy configuration

     [192.168.0.1
       http=...
     ]
     [10.
       http=...
     ]
     [default
       http=...
     ]
     import=IP

Note

Import of the proxy configuration from the Internet Explorer

    import=IE
