#422 Document proxy setting

[anatoly techtonik]

OmegaT 1.7.x proposes import from Mediawiki, but this won't work if you are behind a proxy. It is possible to execute OmegaT with:

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.1.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -jar OmegaT.jar %*

Not many translators are able to figure this out, so a dedicated proxy setting is highly desirable.

Thank you for your report, and the useful command line.

I have moved it to Feature Requests, as it is not really a bug.

It's not a "Feature Requests", it's a solution ;)

Java uses "http.proxyHost" and "http.proxyPort" for check if connection should be processed by proxy. It's solution only for anonymous proxy.

Try to run any OmegaT(even 1.6.1) with -Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.1.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128, then it will work through proxy.

We just need to document it for users, or put it into FAQ.

It works with windows domain (transparent windows authentication) proxies as well.

Two things have been done to implement this request:
- Adding optional parameters in OmegaT.l4J.ini for Windows users.
- Documenting the parameters in installingAndRunning.html#arguments

Implemented in SVN (2.0 and /trunk).

Great. Thanks.

This feature was implemented in the just released version 2.0.5 update 1 of OmegaT.
