Nadir, I think in HTTPTransport::setProxy( const char *pcProxyHost, unsigned int uiProxyPort)
You need to force the unsecure channel to be used. Klitos, is it true that all communication to the Proxy server is unencrypted, but the communication from the proxy server to your web service is encrypted? -Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Nadir Amra [mailto:a...@us.ibm.com] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 3:49 PM To: Apache AXIS C User List Subject: Re: Axis C++ 1.6 client app connecting using https through http proxy Klitos, I am willing to work on this if you help me understand what needs to be done. There is an issue about tunneling here: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-899 Maybe if you send me the traces and/or point me to something that tells me how this is suppose to work I can take a look into it.
