> Hello, > > I am trying to reproduce the demo image (see attached image) from your > website. Would it be possible to get a quick set of instructions on > how to do this (what data sources, etc.)? The attachment contains no image. > > Also, I (and my colleagues) are having trouble getting IDV to connect to > data sources through our proxy. We have tried adding the proxy and proxy > port to the Java command line in runIDV.bat but it doesn't seem to work. > If you could point me to some documentation on IDV's use of proxy settings > (e.g., can it use .pac proxy config files?) that would be great. You can specify the proxy server/port to use from the command lin with a java system property: java -Dhttp.proxyHost=your.proxy.host -Dhttp.proxyPort=proxy_port_number -Xmx1512m ucar.unidata.idv.DefaultIdv If you are running from an InstallAnywhere just change the runIDV or runIDV.bat script, adding the above arguments.
