Hi Guys,

Ignition V7.9.1

Using the IP Camera Viewer to do Jpeg Stills with the following URL works when the client or designer is on the same subnet as the camera.

```auto
http://10.30.2.60/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=user&pwd=xxxx
```

However when using a client that is not directly on the same subnet i use the following URL I get “IOExcetion: URL is not a JPEG image” error.

`http://server:8088/main/system/urlproxy?url=http://10.30.2.60/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=snapPicture2&usr=user&pwd=xxxx
`

The URL Proxy is enabled in the Ignition Gateway config file as below and has worked previously on a different camera.

```auto
wrapper.java.additional.10=-Dvision.urlproxy.enabled=true
```

Just wonder if there is a reason that the Proxy might not work in this case?

Cheers for any ideas.

Tim…

Did your previous success including proxying url GET parameters? You might need to urlencode the ? and & delimiters.

URL encoding did the trick

```auto
http://server:8088/main/system/urlproxy?url=http://10.30.2.60/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi%3Fcmd%3DsnapPicture2%26usr%3Duser%26pwd%3Dxxxx
```

Thanks for the help. ![:thumb_left:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/e26afb081ddde6df016df6ee49159cf56aaca688.gif ":thumb\_left:")

HI,  
It’s a bit old topic… but i try to connect my Hikvision camera trhow the ignition proxy gateway but i get “Exceptio: Receiver HTTP 401: Unauthorized” message (I modified the ignition.conf file to enable the proxy). If i connect directly with the url “[http://admin:pass@192.168.100.250/Streaming/channels/102/httppreview](http://admin:pass@192.168.100.250/Streaming/channels/102/httppreview)” it work perfect, but only with one client-designer, that’s why i’m trying throw the gateway with the url “[http://192.168.100.146:8088/main/system/urlproxy?url=http://admin:pass@192.168.100.250/Streaming/channels/102/httppreview](http://192.168.100.146:8088/main/system/urlproxy?url=http://admin:pass@192.168.100.250/Streaming/channels/102/httppreview)” but nothing work. Any suggestion??  
Thanks!
