[IDV #CVB-770084]: Is IDV software Proxy Aware?

> Dear Unidata,
> 
> I would like to test out IDV for viewing weather data on my corporate desktop 
> computer.  I have the software installed and have attempted to access data 
> from the Data Choosers tab on the Dashboard.  Every attempt I make, I get a 
> connection error message.  I've talked with the IT security support team at 
> my company and was told that I need to enable the Proxy Aware functionality 
> to avoid the company firewall blocking my data requests.
> 
> So my questions are:
> Is the IDV application Proxy Aware?
> If so, how do I enable Proxy Aware?
> 
> Thank you,
> Tim Ashman

Hi Tim,
    You can reference this support ticket for the setting of the Proxy port in 
the runIDV script:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/idv/msg00493.html

Not sure what kind of data server in your company computer, you need to be 
aware that only specific data accesses supported in the IDV.
