Tips about Proxy setting in Shindig

1)  can’t fetch gadget xml

If you are running shindig within a company, probably you’re behind a firewall.  To let shindig goes through it: 

   mvn jetty:run -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxydomain -Dhttp.proxyPort=proxyport

Thanks Martin.

This should be able to set in some xml file.  I’ll post here if I find out.

2) make request 504 timeout error;  don’t be evil

Most likely your proxy server is not fast enough, try a faster one.  Not 100% sure if this is the actual reason. If so, it is a little stupid.

Thanks Paul Lindner.
