Verifying that the proxy is processing Internet requests

After you have installed the proxy, verify that it is processing requests for Web content.

Open the Content Gateway manager. See Accessing the Content Gateway manager.

Go to the Monitor > My Proxy > Summary page to view subscription detail, scanning data file status, and node details, including the number of objects served, the hit rate, and other basic proxy service information.

Navigate to Monitor > Protocol > HTTP > General to display the General HTTP Statistics table.

Note the current Total Document Bytes statistic in the Client section of the table.

Set your browser to the proxy port.

Browse the Internet.

Recheck the Total Document Bytes statistic.

This value increases as the proxy processes HTTP requests.
