I've got an application, which is sending a SOAP request to an external server via a corporate proxy, which I do not control. Sending the request fails with a message "HTTP/1.1 500 handshakefailed". However, sending another request via SoapUI through the same proxy works just fine.
In order to find a difference, I detected a surprising fact: Th Wireshark trace shows, that SoapUI is doing an HTTP CONNECT, rather than an HTTP POST. The complete headers look like this: CONNECT proxy.company.com:443 HTTP/1.1 Host: reverseproxy.othercompany.com Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5) The proxy servers response is HTTP/1.0 Connection established. The rest of the connection is mainly unreadable, except for some words, which make me believe, that an SSL Certificate is being passed through from the remote server to my client. My impression is, that SoapUI establishes an SSL connection to the proxy server, although I did not configure it to do so. (In fact, the SoapUI preferences do not provide that option, AFAICT.) Perhaps SoapUI does so, because the remote URL is an https URL? My question is: How can I configure the Apache HttpClient to do the same? Obviously, SoapUI does that, because the headers show, that it is using Apache HttpClient, too, albeit a different version. Currently, my proxy related code looks like this: CredentialsProvider provider = new BasicCredentialsProvider(); UsernamePasswordCredentials upc = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(getUserName(), getPassword()); if (getProxyUrl() != null && getProxyUserName() != null) { provider.setCredentials(new AuthScope(getProxyUrl().getHost(), getProxyUrl().getPort()), new UsernamePasswordCredentials(getProxyUserName(), getProxyPassword())); } provider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, upc); Thanks in advance, Jochen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: httpclient-users-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: httpclient-users-h...@hc.apache.org
