Setting up a proxy server

The SDK uses the HTTP protocol to browse content, load MIDlets, and allow MIDlets to communicate with one another. HTTP requests from your computer might pass through a proxy, if you are working within a Corporate Intranet. In this case, you must specify an HTTP proxy for the SDK to use.

To set up a proxy server:

1. From the Emulator menu bar, navigate to Tools > Preferences from the menu bar. The General tab is selected by default, click on the Networking tab.

2. To specify the address of the proxy server (for example, 172.16.43.133 or proxy.domain) and a port number, check Use an HTTP proxy server and enter the information. You can contact your network administrator for this information.
