Integrating WinGate with a Web server

With a Web server you have 2 options:

Proxy option:

If you change the port on which the service in WinGate is to run, it is common to use port 8080, or port 90. You will have to enter the new proxy details into clients browser setup or make use of the PAC files

Non-Proxy option:

The best solution is to change the port on which the Web server (not the WinGate WWW proxy) runs. Typically, this would be changed to port 8080. Then with a small alteration to the proxy, you will have seamless access.

In the GateKeeper setup for the WinGate WWW proxy, select the Non-proxy request tab and select the option: Pipe to predetermined server.

In the Server field, enter the name/IP of the machine your Intranet Web server is running on. This could be the same machine that WinGate is on, or another machine on your LAN or even somewhere else on the Internet.

In the port field, enter the port on which the Web server now runs.

Now, when a proxy request in made, normal proxy operation takes place. But when a non-proxy request, such as a hit on your web pages , takes place, the request is piped through to the Web server specified.

For more about the Non-Proxy options available, please refer to Non-Proxy-Request tab
