GRAILS Configuration -- Proxy Settings
There are two commands to set proxy in GRAILS.
Add Proxy - adds a proxy server setting in proxysettings.groovy file
Set Proxy - sets the current proxy in the proxysettings.groovy file.
grails add-proxy client --host=proxy-server --port=4300 --username=guest --password=guest
grails set-proxy client
For example:
grails add-proxy myproxy --host=internet --port=8085
grails set-proxy myproxy
If you are using WINDOWS console then you will need to enclose parameters with double quotes.
grails add-proxy myproxy "--host=internet" "--port=8085"
grails set-proxy myproxy
Settings can then be verified in the proxysettings.groovy file. This file can be located in the .grails folder.
