Network Settings

Use chunked encoding

This option allows you to reduce the memory consumption of the Vault ProfessionalClient during file uploads. Without chunked encoding, the entire file must be read into memory before it can be uploaded. This means the amount of memory available on the computer must be greater than the size of the file being uploaded. This setting is not compatible with some proxy servers, routers or firewalls.

The default is unchecked

em: 100-Continue Headers

The inherent behavior of Vault Professional, as an ASP.NET web application, is for the client to notify the server that a request is pending and for the server to OK the request with an HTTP Continue before the client can continue. By default this is enabled.

However, on high latency networks, such as satellite networks, this constant notification and verification can impede performance. If Use Expect 100-Continue Headers is disabled, the client sends the request and the transaction data at the same time, reducing the number of round trips to the server.

Request database delta

When this option is enabled, the Vault Professional Client requests a database delta (rather than the full tree) if your local cached Vault Professional repository is many versions out of date.  This is the recommended default setting.  If the option is unchecked, the Vault Professional Server will send a new full repository tree.

Proxy

Please note that changes to your proxy settings will not take effect until the next time that you connect to a Vault Professional Server.

Use system default proxy

This setting causes Vault Professional to use the system default proxy which is specified in Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings. Note that due to a limitation in the .NET Framework, automatic configuration is not supported. If your LAN uses automatic configuration to set the proxy server, you must manually configure that proxy server in Vault Professional.

This is the default setting for Proxy.

Use a manually configured proxy

This option allows you to specify the address and port of the proxy that should be used. Type the proxy server name in the Address text box and the port number in the Port text box.

Do not use a proxy

This option allows you to connect directly to the Vault Professional Server overriding any system default proxy.
