Use this page to configure Jeeves to act as a proxy server. A proxy server typically runs on a firewall machine to provide Internet access for users on a private network inside the firewall. When Jeeves functions as a proxy server, it can cache frequently requested documents for faster retrieval and improved response times. Jeeves can act as a proxy server while also serving documents stored on local hosts.
Use the Proxy Cache page to enable the proxy disk cache, and specify its location and size.
Act as Proxy
Enable or disable Jeeves as a proxy server for HTTP and FTP requests.
Proxy Keepalive
If enabled, the server allows multiple HTTP operations on a single TCP
connection. You specify the number of threads to allow using the Keepalive Count
setting on the Server Tuning page.
Server Names
Specify the host names by which the server is known, e.g., galaxy.eng, galaxy.eng.sun.com. Separate
multiple host names using a comma, and do not use the wildcard character (*).
No Proxy Chaining for
Specify the domain names of one or more hosts that Jeeves can access directly,
without having to go through the proxy chain. Separate multiple host names using
a comma. You can use the wildcard character (*) when specifying domain names,
e.g., *.eng, *.eng.sun.com.
