Hello,
I'm developing a small application for getting webpages over GET and
posting filled-in web forms over POST requests. Initially I have used
standard Java 6 API, but it was problematic and buggy, so I have
switched to Commons HttpClient 3.1, which works perfect. I have one
problem though.
With standard Java 6 API my users were able to define HTTP proxy (via
system properties) and everything worked. With Commons HttpClient it
does not. I have observed the network traffic with Wireshark and found
that standard Java 6 API sends HTTP packets only, but Commons HttpClient
uses pure TCP packets very often (as a request to server and as a
response from the server). Therefore with your library, the HTTP proxy
simply does not apply. But a lot of users don't have possibility to use
SOCKS proxy (for general TCP), just HTTP. For these users my program now
does not work.
I would like to ask if there is some option to convince the Commons
HttpClient to use real HTTP packets and not just TCP ones. This would
enable many of my users to use HTTP proxy again.
Thank you for any help.
