Host Publisher Hints and Tips

Netscape Proxy Configuration

Follow these steps to turn off the use of a proxy server for the IP address 127.0.0.1 in Netscape Web browsers. Not using a proxy server enables page previewing in the Integrator.
  1. Start Netscape.
  2. Select Preferences under the Edit menu.
  3. Select the "+" icon next to the Advanced option at the left side of the window, and select the Proxies option.
  4. If "Manual proxy configuration" is checked, then
    1. Click the View... button.
    2. In the window titled "Exceptions" or "No proxy for", add the name localhost. Separate multiple entries with commas (","), e.g. "localhost,netscape.com".
    3. Click the OK button.
  5. If "Automatic proxy configuration" is checked, your browser is set up to be automatically configured. Automatic configuration is incorrectly redirecting requests for local Web links (such as http://127.0.0.1:8081, used by the Page Server) to a proxy server. Report this to your network administrator to get it fixed. If this cannot be fixed quickly, you should:
    1. Make a note of the URL in the entry field under "Automatic proxy configuration".
    2. Delete the URL.
    3. Select "Direct connection to the internet"
    4. Click the OK button.
    When you finish previewing Web pages in the Integrator, you should re-configure Netscape using "Automatic proxy configuration" and inserting the URL that you deleted.
  6. Click the OK button.
  7. Exit and restart Netscape. (Bugs in some versions of Netscape prevent changes in proxy configurations from taking effect until Netscape is restarted.)
