Configuring File Proxy

You should not need to do anything manually here as the Seeker file proxy installer should automatically configure the proxy settings. If you do run into problems downloading or uploading files you can use this guide to manually configure the proxy.

The Seeker file proxy installer creates a seeker file proxy web application. The web.config of this web application should be automatically configured by the installer. If you need to manually change these settings use the following guidance.

The file proxy currently proxies two Dovetail Seeker web service APIs.

Editing the file proxy web.config

The following is the <rewrite> element from the web.config file:

<rewrite>

<rules>

<rule name="Seeker File Upload" stopProcessing="true">

<match url="^file/upload" />

<action type="Rewrite" url="@URL@/file/upload" />

</rule>

<rule name="Seeker File Download" stopProcessing="true">

<match url="^file/download" />

<action type="Rewrite" url="@URL@/file/download" />

</rule>

</rules>

</rewrite>

The only text you need to customize is the @URL@ placeholder. Occurrences of @URL@ need to be replaced with the Seeker web service API. The installer defaults it to http://localhost/seeker.
