This question is Discoverer/Jinitiator/Internet related but I'm hoping someone has a suggestion....

We have Discoverer Plus 4i available to our clients through the Internet. Most of them can download Jinitiator (1.1.8.11) and run Discoverer without a problem (once their firewall is open). One of our clients uses proxy automatic configuration (PAC) files, their PCs are locked down and are not able to access the Internet directly. They can download and install Jinitiator off our web site. In the Java Console the proxies tab is set to 'Use browser settings'. When they try to run Discoverer it attempts to connect to our server instead of going through their proxy servers. This direct connection causes Discoverer to fail.

Any idea how we can fix the problem on our end? I assume we can't hard code a proxy server (i.e. http_proxy) since it's not our's. We can't make any changes that would affect other clients (different web pages, Jinitiator versions, etc. may be possible). Would an upgrade of Jinitiator help? Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything useful on Metalink or on the Internet.

TIA Linda
