Subject:sys_open_url and proxies 
From:Anthony Worrall (ISG) 
Volume-ID:1010611.02 

Hi

In version 15.53 the is a new procedure showlib * sys_open_url
The will open files using ftp or http protocols. There is also the ved
command ved_ftp to open a file using ftp in a ved buffer.

I have written a ved_http command along the same lines as
ved_ftp. However here at the University access to external
http servers has to go via the Universities proxy server.

Before I start rewriting the code has anyone got sys_open_url to
work with http proxies or indeed know the commands I need to
use to authenticate with the proxy. The HTTP specification
did not seem to have this information ;-(.
