The 'proxy' property

Nested Vector

Valid for: HTTPClient

If you are accessing the Internet from a corporate network, you may have to use a 'proxy' server when you retrieve web pages. This property allows you to specify the proxy server, as a nested vector of (Proxy Address) (Port). The Proxy Address is a character vector (the Internet address of the server), and the Port is an integer scalar (the TCP/IP port to use). Your Network Administrator should be able to provide you with the values you need for these parameters.

If you set this property to an empty vector, no proxy server will be used. This is the default.
