3.2.10 Information About Parameters of the http-client-config SAF
Table 3–3 lists the parameters of the http-client-config SAF that existed in 4.0.14 or
earlier releases, but are not documented in the Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.14

3.2.11 <Include> Tag in the obj.conf File
Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.15 supports a new tag in the obj.conf file. This
tag,
<Include> , includes the content of another file in the obj.conf file, effectively
enabling you to divide the content of
obj.conf across several files to make
management of your configuration easier.
The syntax of the
<Include> tag is:
<Include>
filename
</Include>
filename is the name of the file to be included in the obj.conf file where the <Include>
tag occurs.
When using the
<Include> tag, keep these points in mind:
■ The <Include> tag can be used outside the context of <Object> . For example, you
could put all the
Init directives in a file and then include that file at the start of
the
obj.conf. file.
■ An included file can contain other included files; that is, an included file can itself
contain an
<Include> tag.
■ An included file cannot cross <Object> boundaries; that is, included file cannot
end one object and start another.
3.2.12 lookup-ipv6-first Parameter of the dns-config SAF
Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.15 supports a new parameter, lookup-ipv6-first ,
for the
dns-config SAF of the DNS directive. The following table provides information
about this new parameter.
Table 3–3 Parameters of the http-client-config SAF
Parameter Description
forward-unread-request
-body
(Optional) This boolean parameter indicates whether a request
body that arrives in a TCP packet separate from the request header
should be forwarded to the origin server. The default value is false,
meaning that request bodies arriving in TCP packets separate from
their request headers are not forwarded to the origin server.
rewrite-error (Optional) When this boolean parameter is enabled, the proxy
server runs the Error stage when the origin server returns an error
status (HTTP status code of 400 or above). By default, this
parameter is disabled.
timeout (Optional) This parameter specifies the timeout period in seconds.
It is used by the HTTP client while transferring data between
clients and origin servers. The default value is 300 seconds.
