Passing Flags to the Perforce Proxy Service

How do I pass flags to the Perforce Proxy Service?

Starting with release 2005.2, the P4POPTIONS environment variable allows you to pass command line options to the Perforce Proxy Service. For details, see the section on P4POPTIONS in the Command Reference.

It is not possible to pass flags to the Perforce Proxy service in releases prior to 2005.2.

Installing P4Eclipse Using an HTTP Proxy

The Eclipse software update manager can fail when installing P4Eclipse from behind a firewall. This failure might indicate that additional configuration is required to enable Eclipse to access the internet.

To enable Eclipse to access the Internet from behind a firewall, you can set some proxy settings to take advantage of your organization's HTTP proxy, if one is available. To enable an HTTP proxy connection, perform the following steps:

Mac Users: Please note that your Preferences window is found under Eclipse | Preferences, rather than the Window menu.

Eclipse 3.5.x and 3.6.x:Choose: Window | Preferences | General | Network Connections
Select Manual in the Active Provider dropdown. Edit the appropriate Schema and specify the proxy host address and port number, and authentication, if needed.
Eclipse 3.3.x and 3.4.x:Choose: Window | Preferences | General | Network Connection
Select Manual proxy configuration and specify the HTTP proxy host address and port number.
Eclipse 3.2.x and previous versions:Choose: Window | Preferences | Install/Update
Check Enable HTTP proxy connection and specify the HTTP proxy host address and port number.

For more information on installing P4Eclipse, please see the P4Eclipse Release Notes.
