My installation of Links SQL is failing to connect to any sites while trying to verify its links. I'm told by the guys in our server room that this is because Links SQL is trying to contact the sites directly, and I need to be able to tell it to go through our proxy server instead.

Is there a way I can do this, please?

OK, I've managed to find someone to fix this for me. Here's what to do.

In the file /admin/verify-child.pl, look for the line:

$host or return -5;

After this line, add the following 3 lines:

$path = $url;
$host = "your.proxy.server.com";
$port = 8080; # your proxy's port

You should now find that Verify Links will go through your proxy server.
