Description _ tboudreau 1999-10-22 18:04:02 UTC

Example:

java -DsocksProxyHost=socks.server.com -DsocksProxyPort=1080 MyMainClass

Quite simple, works in NT and AIX as far as I know.

Comment 1 Marek Grummich 2000-07-25 09:07:59 UTC

Priority is changed to P4 (normal).

Comment 2 Jan Zajicek 2001-01-23 09:34:59 UTC

Automated change of version from Other to Dev.

Comment 3 akemr 2001-02-21 15:02:45 UTC

I don't understand why is it reported as a bug?
IMO this is only JDK problem, socks setting should be enable:
java -DsocksProxySet=true -DsocksProxyHost=hostName -DsocksProxyPort=portNumber

However, there is some DJK documentation bug, see BugParade #4088705

I suggest to mark this bug as INVALID.

Comment 4 akemr 2001-02-27 08:25:02 UTC

Marked as INVALID because of no objection.

Comment 5 Jaromir Uhrik 2001-09-03 17:30:57 UTC

Verified.
