Applicable in Init-class directives.
The pa-init-proxy-array function initializes a proxy
array member and specifies information about the PAT file for the array of
which it is a member.
Note – The load modules directive should come before
the pa-init-proxy-array function in the obj.conf file.

Parameter

Description
|
|
set-status-fn
|
specifies the function that sets the status for the member.
|
|
poll
|
Tells the array member whether or not it needs to poll for a PAT file.
-
yes means that the member should poll for
the PAT file. A member should only poll for a PAT file if it is not the master
proxy. The master proxy has a local copy of the PAT file, and therefore, does
not need to poll for it.
-
no means that the member should not poll
for the PAT file. A member should not poll for the PAT file if it is the master
proxy.
|
|
file
|
The full pathname of the PAT file.
|
|
pollhost
|
The host name of the proxy to be polled for the PAT file. This parameter
only needs to be specified if the poll parameter is set
to yes, meaning that the member is not the master proxy.
|
|
pollport
|
iThe port number on the pollhost that should be contacted when polling
for the PAT file. This parameter only needs to be specified if the poll parameter
is set to yes, meaning that the member is not the master
proxy.
|
|
pollhdrs
|
iThe full pathname of the file that contains any special headers that
must be sent with the HTTP request for the PAT file. This parameter is optional
and should only be specified if the poll parameter is set
to yes, meaning that the member is not the master proxy.
|
|
pollurl
|
iThe URL of the PAT file to be polled for. This parameter only needs
to be specified if the poll parameter is set to yes,
meaning that the member is not the master proxy.
|
|
status
|
Specifies whether the parent array member is on or off.
|
Example
The following example tells the member not to poll for the PAT file.
This example would apply to a master proxy.
Init fn=pa-init-proxy-array poll="no"
file="c:/netscape/server/bin/proxy/pa1.pat"
The following example specifies that the member should poll for a PAT
file. This member is not the master proxy.
Init fn=pa-init-proxy-array poll="yes"
file="c:/netscape/server/bin/proxy/pa2.pat"
pollhost="proxy1" pollport="8080"
pollhdrs="c:/netscape/server/proxy-name/parray/pa2.hdr"
status="on" set-status-fn=set-member-status pollurl="/pat"
