> Which system properties did you set, so I can reproduce your setup with a
proxy server here?
The following system properties were set :
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost","web-proxy");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort","8080");
The code works fine when using HttpClient directly(proxy settings done using
SimpleHttpConnectionManager class). But there is no class/method in the Restlet
HttpClient connector that provides proxy settings methods.
The working code using HttpClient directly is as follows :
SimpleHttpConnectionManager connectionManager = new
SimpleHttpConnectionManager(); HttpClient client = new
HttpClient(connectionManager); HostConfiguration config =
client.getHostConfiguration();
config.setProxy("web-proxy", 8080);
// Create a method instance.
GetMethod method = new GetMethod(uri);
// Provide custom retry handler is necessary
method.getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER,
new DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler(3, false));
try {
// Execute the method.
int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method);
if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) {
System.err.println("Method failed: " + method.getStatusLine());
}
// Read the response body.
byte[] responseBody = method.getResponseBody();
// Deal with the response.
// Use caution: ensure correct character encoding and is not binary data
System.out.println(new String(responseBody));
} catch (HttpException e) {
System.err.println("Fatal protocol violation: " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Fatal transport error: " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
// Release the connection.
method.releaseConnection();
}
