Proxy
Hi all,
I am behind a corporate proxy and firewall and I am not sure how I can
set this up in order to use the Http Client class to access web pages
etc. The proxy url is and it requires a username and password:
http://atlpx-ha.etrade.com:8081/accelerated_pac_base.pac
Username and password required.
I tried to use the example for proxy access but could not get it to
work:
HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy("myproxyhost", 8080);
httpclient.getState().setProxyCredentials("my-proxy-realm", "
myproxyhost",
new UsernamePasswordCredentials("my-proxy-username",
"my-proxy-password"));
GetMethod httpget = new GetMethod("https://www.verisign.com/");
try {
httpclient.executeMethod(httpget);
System.out.println(httpget.getStatusLine());
} finally {
httpget.releaseConnection();
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Rudy

Rudy,
That URL only contains so-called PAC-Proxy code. This is JavaScript that
can tell web browsers which proxy to use for a particular URL. It is
probably not the same host as the actual proxy! HttpClient currently
does not support PAC code. You will need to figure out which proxy
applies to your application and use a static entry.
