Hi Mario. The problems is I think I need to use 2 different user IDs and passwords to get to the data.
One to get past the proxy, the other to authenticate to the remote website. Can I use the FileSystemOptions example below to set up the proxy authentication and then use the http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/file.txt approach as well to get past the remote website's authentication? Ie. FileSystemOptions opts = new FileSystemOptions(); HttpFileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance().setProxyHost(opts, "proxy.host.net"); HttpFileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance().setProxyPort(opts, 8080); DefaultFileSystemConfigBuilder.getInstance().setUserAuthenticator(opts, you_user_authenticator); FileObject fo = VFS.getManager().resolveFile("http://user:passtarget.host.net/file.txt";, opts); I hope you understand what I have written. Thanks for your help Mario. I do appreciate it.
