[Isis-users] ABCD and Z3950 behind a proxy

[Guilda Ascencio]

The script dataentry/z3950-01.php is in charge of establishing the
connection with the Z39.50 server.

In that script there is a command  $id = yaz_connect($host[$i]);

that does the z59.50 connection. The yaz_connect commad has the syntax: *

yaz_connect* ( string $zurl [,
mixed<http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.pseudo-types.php#language.types.mixed>
$options ] )  (http://php.net/manual/en/function.yaz-connect.php)

that means that some options can be attached to the commad. One of the
options is the proxy server.

I thing that if the script dataentry/z3950-01.php es modified in this way:

    if ($fullquery!="" && $expr_isbn!=""){
        $fullquery="@or ".$expr_isbn ." " .$fullquery;
    }else{
        if ($expr_isbn!="") $fullquery=$expr_isbn;
    }*
   ** $options=array("proxy"=>"your_proxy");**      //line added*
    for ($reintentar=0;$reintentar<=$intentos;$reintentar++){
        for ($i = 0; $i < $num_hosts; $i++) {
          *  $id = yaz_connect($host[$i],$options);**   // line modified*
            $ids[$i] = $id;

It could work.

Please let me know the results because the next step will be to add the
proxy server as a parameter in the z3950 configuration module

Regards,

Guilda
