Hello, I am trying to patch QuickFIX/J to use SOCKS Proxy connections.
I found a patch on the QuickFIX/J Jira (QFJ-285), which I used as a start, and which, after some tweaking, I got to work with Mina-2.0.10/Mina-2.0.11. The main problem, when doing so, was, that I had to disable the autostart feature of the SslFilter in order to build the filterchain (ProxyFilter, SslFilter, FixProtocolFilter) without exceptions, and there wasn't a public function to start the Ssl handshake later on (SslFilter.startSsl only works after the initial handshake, not if autostart=false). I solved the problem by making the function "SslFilter.initiateHandshake" public, and executing the following code in the event handler "AbstractProxyIoHandler. proxySessionOpened": @Override public void proxySessionOpened(IoSession session) throws Exception { log.info("proxySessionOpened called"); if (sslFilter != null) { IoFilter.NextFilter nextFilter = session.getFilterChain().getNextFilter(sslFilter); sslFilter.initiateHandshake(nextFilter, session); } } Maybe you can incorporate the same change in the Mina code (making initiateHandshake public, I mean), or provide some other means to initiate the first SSL handshake, when autostart=false. Regards. Norbert
