RE: Using Octave beind a firewall

[Joshua.A.Zimmerman]

Thank you very much.  Running on windows XP, I located my proxy server, and I created environment variables for 'all_proxy' and 'HTTP_proxy' and I set the value to the proxy server with port #.  It works great now.

 

Thanks again,
Josh

I am new octave user, and I am trying to use the urlread() method w/in octave, but I am getting url resolution errors.  How can I specify the proxy server and any other internet connection properties?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Octave uses libcurl internally to implement these functions. Accotding to libcurl documentation, you should be able to specify a proxy through the appropriate environment variables. Please see [1], section "Proxies", paragraph "Environment Variables".
