working with Arduino Ethernet through proxy server

[que63]

Hi,

I am working on a project that involves using Arduino Ethernet shield as a client that reads data from a web page. The problem is that I am using this project in the university network that has evrything running through a proxy server. On other networks such as my home network it can access the page and read the data easily.

I was thinking of modifying the Ethernet.h file myself but I luck a bit of networking knowledge so I didn't know how to begin. Is there a possible way out of this problem

Thanks.

I don't think you can bypass it by modifying the Arduino libraries... You can modify your home's router because you hold the admin authority, but not your uni's.

Yup, agreed with kl84.

However, you will need to configure your Arduino Ethernet board to use the proxy server settings.
Here are the general steps to follow:
-Determine the proxy server settings: You will need to find out the IP address and port number of the proxy server that you want to use.
-Configure the Ethernet library: In your Arduino sketch, you will need to use the Ethernet library to set up the Ethernet connection. To configure the library to use a proxy server, you will need to use the Ethernet Client class and the client. connect() function. For more details click here, CCNA Course in Pune.
