Keywords |
Value Definitions |
---|---|
auth basic user_name password |
If the archive is located on an HTTP server that is password protected, you must include the user name and password that you need to access the HTTP server in the profile file. Note – The use of this authentication method in a profile that is intended for use with custom JumpStart is risky. Unauthorized users might have access to the profile file that contains the password. |
timeout min |
The timeout keyword enables you to specify, in minutes, the maximum length of time that is allowed to pass without receipt of data from the HTTP server before the connection is closed, reopened, and resumed from the point where the timeout occurred. If you specify a timeout value of 0 (zero), the connection is not reopened because of inactivity. If a time-out reconnection occurs, the Web Start Flash installation utilities attempt to resume the installation at the last known position in the archive. If the Web Start Flash installation utilities cannot resume the installation at the last known position, the retrieval restarts from the beginning of the archive and the data that was retrieved prior to the timeout is discarded. |
proxy host:port |
The proxy keyword allows you to specify a proxy host and proxy port. You can use a proxy host to retrieve a Web Start Flash archive from the other side of a firewall. You must supply a proxy port when you specify the proxy keyword. |
