Proxy Considerations for MSN Support
The MSN protocol requires both port 1863, the standard MSN protocol port, and port 443, HTTPS. Many sites require proxies for HTTP/HTTPS traffic but are willing to open up port 1863. If you require proxy support for port 443 to get MSN working, you can instruct the JVM to send all https connections through the proxy with the following options:
-Dhttps.proxyHost=myproxy.mydomain.org -Dhttps.proxyPort=myproxyport
Ex:
nohup “$app_java_home/bin/java” -server -Dhttp.proxyHost=mywebcache.mydomain.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dinstall4j.jvmDir="$app_java_home" …

A better solution will be worked out in the future, but for now, this is a good stopgap.
