Can I configure apache to use my system proxy settings?

    Greetings,

    I'm wondering if thee is a way to configure Apache to connect to the internet using my system's proxy server settings.

    I'm running OS X, and have specified a proxy server under network settings, but Apache doesn't recognize it.

    I've tried pulling up whatismyip.com with the browser and it sows my proxy address, but when I pull it up with apache, it shows my isp provided ip.

    Thanks for any help with this. I'm not much of a network guy, but I half know my way around an httpd.conf file.

    Nathan

    You'll have to set which ports in OSX use a proxy. You also have to specify that it's for outgoing/incoming connections (default is port 80)... and you have to be sure that the proxy server you are using allows for use through that specific port also.
