predefined schemas: HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS. a Configuration for each schema is displayed in
the Proxy entries table. To edit settings for a particular schema,
double-click the entry or select the entry, and then click Edit. If you leave
the Port field blank, the default port number is used. This table lists the
default port numbers for predefined schema. Table 1. Proxy entries portsSchema |

Proxy bypass |
Use this table to specify, either by name or
pattern, which hosts must not use a proxy. A direct connection is
always used for matching hosts. The check boxes in the first column
of the table indicate entries that are to be used for the currently
selected provider. |

Table notes: - The SOCKS proxy support in Java™ 1.4
has limitations. Because of these limitations, when a Java virtual machine (VM) 1.4 is used, the SOCKS
system properties are not set. The SOCKS proxy might still be used
by tools such as CVS when running on a 1.4 VM. However, full SOCKS
proxy support, requires a 1.5 (or 5.0) VM.
