Hello Robert, > providing an SSLContext instance to the HttpCore code. [...] > With HttpClient all the details are handled for me.
As Odi pointed out, not-yet-commons-ssl should be your friend. You still have to prepare the SSLContext, but the details of the key files will be hidden. > My other requirement is support for connection proxies.

Perhaps there's > some alpha code in HttpClient 4. There's not much to manage for plain HTTP. You connect to the proxy instead of the target server and send the request there. You have to put the full URL into the request line, not just the path as for a direct connection. For SSL connections through proxies, things get trickier. Have a look at DefaultClientRequestDirector in HttpClient 4.0. That code cannot be used directly for NIO, since it uses blocking IO. But you'll see how to establish a tunnel for the SSL connection. hope that helps, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
