help on Proxy

Hi all,
         I see two HttpClient, and ProxyClient.
  From HttpClient,  proxy is supported. what is the difference between these.
  Just a brief answer is fine.
   
  Thanks.
  Sheetal

If you want to send HTTP requests with or without proxy, use HttpClient.

If you want to tunnel non-HTTP protocols like FTP through an
HTTP proxy, use ProxyClient to get a proxied socket connection.

It's in the JavaDocs:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/ProxyClient.html

cheers,
  Roland
