MATLAB: How to configure the proxy server settings within MATLAB

MATLAB接続テスト

I have a proxy server in use and need to enter the information to allow MATLAB to connect to the Internet. How can I configure MATLAB to use my proxy server?

Best Answer

To configure your proxy settings in MATLAB:

1) Launch MATLAB

2) Select the "Home" tab

3) Select "Preferences"

4) Select "Web"

5) Check the box labeled "Use a proxy server to connect to the Internet"

6) Fill in your proxy information

7) If authentication is necessary, check the box labeled "Use a proxy with authentication" and fill in the appropriate information

8) Use the "Test connection" button to verify that the information entered was correct

NOTE: Only R2008b and newer has the ability to test the proxy connection and enter authentication information.

MATLAB: How to set a proxy server to use with the URLREAD and URLWRITE functions in MATLAB

In order to specify a proxy server for use in MATLAB, you will need to set two Java system properties: 'http.proxyHost' and 'http.proxyPort'. These properties correspond to the hostname of the proxy server, and the port that is used to connect to the proxy server, respectively.

If you are using MATLAB 7.0 (R14) or later versions, you can set these properties by going to "File -> Preferences -> Web". Then, check the "Use proxy to connect to the internet" checkbox and enter the values in the "Proxy server" and "Proxy port" editboxes.

If you are using a previous version of MATLAB, you will need to set these properties from the Command Window using the following commands:

java.lang.System.setProperty('http.proxyHost','myproxy.mycompany.com')
java.lang.System.setProperty('http.proxyPort','1234')

replacing 'myproxy' and '1234' with the appropriate values. You may want to add these commands to a startup.m file, so they are executed every time you start MATLAB. See the following for more information regarding startup.m:

http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/startup-options.html#brlkmbe-1

Alternately, use the following lines of code in your file:

com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setUseProxy(true)
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyHost('HostName')
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyPort('1234')
%%the proxy authentication is required
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setUseProxyAuthentication(true)
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyUsername('test')
com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyPassword('test')

If you are compiling and deploying your MATLAB code to a target machine, in order to set the same settings for your compiled application on the target machine, add the following lines to your MATLAB code before you compile:

if isdeployed
   com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setUseProxy(true)
   com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyHost('HostName')
   com.mathworks.mlwidgets.html.HTMLPrefs.setProxyPort('Port')
end

where 'HostName' is the name of the Proxy Host and 'Port' is the port number on which the user needs to connect to the proxy server.

MATLAB: How to set up MATLAB Web Server using Apache as an httpd server on Windows NT

Here are step-by-step instructions on setting up MATLAB Web Server using Apache as the httpd server on Windows NT:

1) Install MATLAB

2) Install MATLAB Web Server

3) Edit matweb.conf in $MATLAB/toolbox/webserver/wsdemos, where $MATLAB refers to the root MATLAB directory.

- Replace all instances of <MATLABSERVER_HOST_NAME> with name of the computer

- Replace all instances of $MATLAB with the actual path to where MATLAB is installed on your system (the root MATLAB directory).

4) Download APACHE web server service. Go to:

http://www.apache.org

- HTTP server

- Click on Apache for Win32

- Apache_1.3.19_win32-no_src-r2.msi (or an updated equivalent)

5) Install APACHE

- Doubleclick on the file

- Options:

1. Network Domain: mathworks.com

2. Server Name: <hostname>.mathworks.com (example: simons.mathworks.com)

3. Administrator's email address: your email address

4. Select Run as a service for All Users

5. Setup Type: Complete

6) Edit HTTPD.CONF

- Located in <Apache Group>\Apache\conf

- Check port number. If necessary, change port to 80 (note, this is different than the 8888 port default that is later described)

- Change ServerAdmin to your email address

- Point all instances of aliases to WSDEMOS (for example, #DocumentRoot "D:/Applications/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs" DocumentRoot D:/Applications/matlabr12/toolbox/webserver/wsdemos")

- ServerAdmin should be your email address. Port should be 80.

7) Restart computer

7a) If MATLAB Server doesn't appear in the Start Menu/Settings/Control Panel/Services, you may need to reinstall MATLAB Web Server after installing Apache. After reinstalling it, you should see a message notifying you that it is being installed as a service, and you will need to restart your computer)

8) Edit matlabserver.conf

- Located in <matlab>/weserver

- Add the following

o p 9999 (or to any unused port number)

9) Edit matweb.conf

- Located in <matlab>/toolbox/webwerver/wsdemos

- Add mlport 9999 (to be the first line in this file)

10) Go to start menu/Programs

- Install Apache service

11) Go to start menu/Settings/Control Panel/Services

- Start Apace service

- Start MATLAB Server

12) Open Internet Explorer

- Type "http://localhost"

- Click on one of the demos

Contact your System Administrator for specific details regarding the Installation.
