Hi,
I am trying to run a program from a web server in my company's intranet via Web Start.
It fails to run with a 502 HTTP error.
I found out (using a packet sniffer) that javaws tries to get the codebase of the jnlp file via the company's internet proxy, which doesn't work because the local server can only be connected directly.
The URL which leads to the error is "http://wikis.inside.mycompany.com/pub/Application/swingset.jnlp", which is the URL from where I downloaded the jnlp file itself.
The browser settings (IE 6 and Firefox 3) are automagically correctly configured from an URL (http://proxyconf.my-intra.net/). But apparently javaws uses its own settings.
How can I override them so that javaws uses the browser settings? I understand that javaws is supposed to read the browser settings, but it doesn't.
Here is the jnlp file itself (slightly modified):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+" codebase="http://wikis.inside.mycompany.com/pub/Application/" href="swingset.jnlp">
