I have successfully created a simple unit test testing a get using the apache http client without camel.
public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); HttpMethod method = new GetMethod("http://www.google.co.uk"); HostConfiguration config = client.getHostConfiguration(); config.setProxy(PROXY_HOST, PROXY_PORT); try { client.executeMethod(method); if (method.getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK) { String response = method.getResponseBodyAsString(); System.out.println("Response = " + response); } } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } finally { method.releaseConnection(); } } The above works nicely. However I'm struggling to put this back into my configure method with camel. public void configure() { HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); client.getHostConfiguration().setProxy("PROXY_HOST", PROXY_PORT); HttpEndpoint endpoint = context.getEndpoint("http://www.google.co.uk",HttpEndpoint.class); BasicAuthenticationHttpClientConfigurer config = new BasicAuthenticationHttpClientConfigurer("",""); config.configureHttpClient(client); endpoint.setHttpClientConfigurer(config); from("direct:start") .setHeader(HttpConstants.HTTP_METHOD, constant(org.apache.camel.component.http.HttpMethods.GET)) .to("http://www.google.co.uk").to("mock:results"); } The problem I have is that the setHttpClientConfigurer takes a HttpClientConfigurer which is an interface and the only implementation is the BasicAuthenticationHttpClientConfigurer which has to have a username and password which I don't require. I thought I could maybe hack around it above but it doesn't work. The question is should I create my own subclass of HttpClientConfigurer or am I going about this completely the wrong way? Or maybe it is better for me to write my own HttpProducer/Consumer or custom processor which would be a bit of a shame.
