Configure the HTTP Settings
HTTP options enable you to specify a web proxy server and port number from which a client can access the proxy server. A security barrier is enabled on your internal network when accessing external web sites that are required by HP Web Jetadmin.
Following are steps to configure this option:
1.On the top menu bar, access Tools > Options > Shared > Network and select HTTP.
2.Configure the desired settings:
●HTTP proxy address settings: If your environment includes a proxy server, enter the HTTP proxy address settings. Identify the address and the port number HP Web Jetadmin should use to communicate through the proxy server.
●HTTP proxy user settings: Check Use HTTP proxy credentials to use HTTP proxy credentials and then enter the user and password.
●Download settings: Check Allow download to allow downloads.
●HTTP timeout: Specify the number of seconds that an HTTP connection can be idle before a timeout occurs. The default is 30. On networks that have a low bandwidth or slow links, you can increase the HTTP timeout period. On some networks, decreasing the HTTP timeout period might improve the performance of discoveries.
NOTE: The HTTP timeout also impacts the ClickOnce Smart Client
