Hi fellow admins,

How do I enforce Netscape V4.51 (Digital UNIX V4.0d) to use the proxy?
I can not see any obvious configuration file or command line option.
According to Netscape "preferences.js" file and extracting strings from the
binary file I tried setting PROXY_URL and PROXY_MODE environment
variables. No joy!

-- cut --
#!/bin/sh
PROXY_URL=http://www.cam.ac.uk/proxyconfig.pac
export PROXY_URL
PROXY_MODE=2
export PROXY_MODE
/usr/local/netscape/netscape $*
-- cut --

Any help or suggestions would be useful.


Regards,
Rich
