General:

Proxy Server: PicaLoader can work via HTTP proxy servers. If your Internet/Intranet system requires that you connect to a proxy server,  check "Connect to  the internet using a proxy server" and specify your proxy parameters. If you do not know your proxy settings, contact your  system administrator or service provider. Most proxies do not require authentication. However, if your proxy server requires an account and password, enter the username and password. PicaLoader will automatically handle proxy authentication when it runs your project.

 

Agent Identity: Browsers, webspiders, and other Internet client programs can broadcast their identity when making requests for files.  Although it's considered good netiquette to broadcast your true identity, sometimes a remote server will look at the agent identity to determine what type of data to send it  or whether to send it data at all.  For example, some websites will not send frame links to older Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers, which were not capable of reading frame links.  Although PicaLoader defaults to broadcasting its true identity, you may wish to change its identity if a site appears to be unresponsive to PicaLoader, yet works with your browser.

 

Anonymous broadcasts no identity at all.

 

PicaLoader 1.0 broadcasts the string "PicaLoader <current version number>.
