Thanks  a lot, Oleg!

Do you happen to know how to call the apache API to use socks proxy?
Or how to configure the JRE to do it? Any documentation I can refer to?


thanks,

Michelle.

Michelle,

HttpClient _should_ work with the socks protocol if it is supposed and
properly configured on the JRE level. We _may_ provide better support
for the socks protocol in the next major release of HttpClient.

As far as I know one does not need any special support on the client
side for reverse proxies. Reverse proxies are meant to be completely
transparent to the HTTP agents.
