Using PLaneT With a Web Proxy

Problem

You want to use PLaneT but your computer is behind a web proxy, preventing direct access to the PLaneT server.

Solution

You can easily configure PLaneT to send requests via your proxy. Add the following lines to the file collects/planet/config.ss, changing the details to match your proxy server.

;; Require the URL collection so we can set the proxy
(require (lib "url.ss" "net"))

;; Add the proxy server for the HTTP method.  Change to match your web proxy server
(current-proxy-servers
  '(("http" "webcache.megacorp.com" 3128)))

Discussion

You can find the file collects/planet/config.ss wherever you have installed PltScheme. Under Unix it is probably in the /lib/plt/ or /usr/local/lib/plt, under Windows probably in C:/Program Files/PLT Scheme and for OS X probably in Applications
