Hi, I tried using the following command since we have a proxy server BUT it fails

./gw -g -a -proxy=myproxy.com:1080 http://www.handango.com

error is

000 Can't get address for host `www.handango.com': Error 0
000 Can't get address for host `www.handango.com': Error 0
000 Can't get address for host `www.handango.com': Error 0
http://www.handango.com/: Can't get IP address

gw still wants to lookup the ip address for all specified urls even if using a proxy to fetch them. You either need to setup dns or hosts for those sites or use a vortex scripted walker such as in webinator 4 or on our ftp site (dowalk) instead of gw.

So I need to enable dns. How do I setup hosts for this site , i am on AIX

Thanks,

Edit /etc/hosts
See your system manuals (man hosts).

One other issue is probably the authetication, does webinator 4.2 allow proxy authetication

Thanks in advance, joe

Yes, Webinator 4.2 can do proxy authentication.

But only through the web admin interface, not the 2.x-version gw.
