With a SOCKS proxy, all protocols are addressed, whereas in a standard proxy only HTTP connections are passed through.
Configuration
The option can be set in the hosts.xml file of your server, since there is no GUI available. For more information, see also this Wikipedia article.
Example:
<host compressionlevel="1" url="rmis://116.**.**.2*:443/corpus.RMIServerSSL" name="ORION (Proxy)" authentication-method=""> <proxy use="1" port="1080" host="ori-paint-app01.****.cns.ori.muc.de" type="socks" authentication-required="1" username="****" password="****" /> </host>
