Will StarView work from behind a firewall?
StarView requires an outward connection to our server via port 80. Currently StarView does not support a proxy server connection. To test your configuration simply type telnet starview.stsci.edu 80 Followed by a control-D and a return. If you get something like this (bold faced characters are typed by the user and ^D is control-D) corsair> telnet starview.stsci.edu 80 Trying 130.167.1.151… Connected to starview.stsci.edu. Escape character is ‘^]’. ^D
