Proxy

[Hentzen, Rudy]

Hi all,

 

I am behind a corporate proxy and firewall and I am not sure how I can
set this up in order to use the Http Client class to access web pages
etc.  The proxy url is and it requires a username and password:

 

http://atlpx-ha.etrade.com:8081/accelerated_pac_base.pac

Username and password required.

 

I tried to use the example for proxy access but could not get it to
work:

 

HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();

  httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy("myproxyhost", 8080);

  httpclient.getState().setProxyCredentials("my-proxy-realm", "
myproxyhost",

  new UsernamePasswordCredentials("my-proxy-username",
"my-proxy-password"));

  GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("https://www.verisign.com/";);

  try { 

    httpclient.executeMethod(httpget);

    System.out.println(httpget.getStatusLine());

  } finally {

    httpget.releaseConnection();

  }

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated

 

Many thanks

Rudy
