Using The Openwave SDK 6.2.2 Via A Proxy Server

Emap have decided that all web traffic from our office needs to be sent through a proxy server.

There are several annoying issues with this, mainly with it caching .swf files and not allowing us to reload them. Naturally the guys who set it up won't take any support calls so we're stuck.

However, I've now managed to get the Openwave SDK 6.2.2 to go via the proxy successfully.

My office proxy server is called lonsqd01.emap.net and goes via port 3128. The example below shows how I made the emulator use the proxy to access WAP sites via HTTP.

1. Load the Openwave SDK
2. Go to Tools->Options in the menu
3. Select Server
4. Click Add
5. Click No when asked if the connection is to be HTTP direct
6. Enter the name of your proxy, in my case this was lonsqd01.emap.net
7. Enter a username and password if you need to authenticate yourself, I didn't, but had to put a space in the username just to let it carry on
8. Enter a name for your profile
9. Select your profile and click settings
10. My proxy server is on port 3128, so I set that instead of port 80
11. Delete the space you may have have put in the username if you didn't need a username or password
12. Click OK
13. Click on your profile then click Activate
14. Click OK
15. In the GO box, enter a wapsite like http://wap.tubeplanner.com/ to test the settings
