Hi, Lasse, With HttpClient you have to specify your proxy settings directly. HttpClient doesn't automatically pickup the JVM-wide proxy settings. Take a look at this page on the wiki:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/FrequentlyAskedApplicationDesignQuestions#head-4808398f4e6d318df33672d886d1f27bd2845277 Meanwhile.... <soapbox> Too many people are using EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory to just get things working! Try to not get into the habit! You're seriously compromising most of the benefits of SSL! Please use AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory<http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/contrib/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib/ssl/AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory.java?view=markup>(but hand it a null keystore if you don't want to use client-certificates). Or you can look into not-yet-commons-ssl: http://juliusdavies.ca/commons-ssl/ http://juliusdavies.ca/commons-ssl/TrustExample.java.html Use "java -jar not-yet-commons-ssl-0.0.5.jar" to acquire the self-signed certificate directly from the server: http://juliusdavies.ca/commons-ssl/utilities.html The javadocs here are also useful, but I wouldn't bother using this class. Personally I prefer "TrustExample.java.html". http://juliusdavies.ca/commons-ssl/javadocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib/ssl/TrustSSLProtocolSocketFactory.html </soapbox> ps. The "Ping" utility can also work with proxies, so it can help you debug SSL + Proxy situations. java -jar not-yet-commons-ssl-0.0.5.jar yours, Julius On 1/18/07, Lasse Koskela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I'm facing a problem with getting HttpClient to connect to a HTTPS URL through a proxy when using the EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory. For example, when I connect to "https://www.verisign.com"; through a proxy with the out-of-the-box configuration, everything works fine. However, I need to connect to another server through the same proxy and that other server has a self-signed certificate (it's a test server). Originally I did the following: ProtocolSocketFactory socketFactory = new EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory(); Protocol protocol = new Protocol("https", socketFactory, 443); Protocol.registerProtocol(protocol.getScheme(), protocol); ...and everything worked--both against verisign.com and against the test server with a self-signed certificate. However, now they're both behind a HTTP proxy and the EasySSLProtocolSocketFactory doesn't seem to cut it anymore. What options do I have?
