Hi,

is it possible to set a proxy for the desktopx object that use http requests? fro example my favorite is the weather text object, that I can't get work in the ofice behind the proxy.

I also wonder if this is possible.

We have a firewall/proxy here at work and the DX weather objects work...however, I think the devil is in the detail of how the proxy and things are configured rather than a blanket yes/no on if it works (or how).

For example, our firewall will allow HTTP traffic on port 80 and 8080 without going through the proxy - and since I don't think DX uses the proxy settings in IE, then I'm fine as the traffic is still allowed in/out.

I may be wrong, and DX might use the proxy settings in IE, and if so it should work anyhow...if not, it's probably worth an e-mail to stardock support as a feature request?

I think DX uses the same proxy settings as IE.

1080 is another port to check with 80 and 8080...

Technician - cool...if correct then surely it'll work as long as web browsing works as it seems to issue http gets etc so the proxy shouldn't see anything different to IE surfing the web?

I had a feeling it didn't though from something I'd read somewhere before, but since it works for me, I've never checked myself
