No web access behind corporate web proxy?

[matthia...@gmail.com]

I can run the rightfield-bin.jar file just fine but I have no access to any online ontologies: Choosing "Open ontology from BioPortal..." does nothing, and "Open ontology from a URL..."  produces a ConnectException error with the following details:

These are technical details that can be sent to the RightField developers to help diagnose an unexpected problem

The version of RightField is: 0.23.1

I suspect that running RightField behind a corporate web proxy may be the problem. I tried running the jar with these options:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=http://<corporate.proxy.com> -Dhttp.proxyPort=<80> -Dhttps.proxyHost=https://<corporate.proxy.com> -Dhttps.proxyPort=<80>

where <corporate.proxy.com> and <80> are placeholders for our real corporate webproxy and the appropriate ports which work fine in other java software I am using.

I'd appreciate any help!

Best regards, Matthias
