You can use:
port-spec: make port! [
scheme: 'tcp
host: :base-url
port-id: 80
proxy: make system/schemes/default/proxy []
timeout: 0:10
]
Root-Protocol/open-proto port-spec
and now it should be open, going through your default proxy. For a
more sophisticated look you can check out %proxy.r i nthe advanced
section of the REBOL.org script library. It's a neat little script
that I use all the time... I have a few things to add to it like error
handling and a few bug fixes but it should show you a good look into
using direct tcp ports.
