Table 5 Environment Configuration—HTTP Settings (Continued)

Name	Description	Required Value
Content Type	The default Content type header value to	A valid string.
	include when sending a request to the
	server. If no value is specified, a default
	value of application/x-www-form-
	urlencoded is supplied by the eWay.
	Important: A change of the
	configuration value will only alter
	the header value, and not the
	actual Content type. When
	necessary, you can undertake any
	conversion or transformation of
	data manually.
Encoding	The default encoding used when reading	A valid entry. The default is
	or writing textual data.	ASCII.

5.5.2Proxy Configuration

The properties in this section specify the information required for the eWay to access the external systems through a proxy server.

Use the Proxy Configuration settings in the client HTTPS Environment properties, when setting the desired URL dynamically within a Collaboration (Java) or Business Process.

Note: It is a known behavior of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to bypass an invalid proxy server through a local connection. As a result, you may still get a response, even if the proxy setting is invalid. This false response only happens with an HTTP connection. An HTTPS connection ensures authenticated handshaking from the proxy.

Note: The HTTPS eWay client bypasses the proxy server when accessing local addreses. This contrasts a web browser’s behavior where all requests are sent to a proxy even if they are local.

Proxy Configuration includes the configuration parameters listed in Table 6.

Table 6 Environment Configuration—Proxy Configuration

Proxy Host	Specifies the host name of the HTTP	A valid HTTPS proxy host

	to which requests to an HTTP server or
	reception of data from an HTTP server
	may be delegated to a proxy. This sets the
	proxy port for secured HTTP connections.
