HttpCore 4.0 beta 2: JDK 1.3: connecting with a proxy server
I got all the code working with HttpCore only to find out that we were now
going to have to use a proxy server. And that becomes a little complicated
because calling proxy from the native socket connection at JDK 1.3 is a
little complicated.
Does anyone know how to use a proxy server with HttpCore 4.0 beta 2.
Any help would be appreciated

I have to be very, very brief.
(1) Not tunneled HTTP requests (plain HTTP) are very simple. Just use
absolute request URIs and that is it
direct
HTTP/1.1 GET /stuff
Host: www.target.com
proxied
HTTP/1.1 GET http://www.target.com/stuff
Host: www.target.com
(2) Tunneled HTTP requests (HTTPS) are more complex
* Do HTTP CONNECT first as described here
5.2 Requesting a Tunnel with CONNECT
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2817.html
* Create a socket layered over an existing socket connected to the proxy
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/net/ssl/SSLSocketFactory.html#createSocket(java.net.Socket,%20java.lang.String,%20int,%20boolean)
* Rebind the connection to the new socket
* Execute requests as normal
Hope this helps

Thanks, Oleg,
We are currently running WebSphere Commerce 5.6.. needless to say JDK
upgrade is out of the question. We are upgrading the product but that will
take some time. Meanwhile, due to time constraints I have already coded it
with 3.1. However, I would still love to get some direction on using
httpcore.. There is no authentication involved in the proxy.

One can program HttpCore to generate HTTP messages compatible with HTTP
proxies (at the end of the day, that is exactly what HttpClient 4.0
does) It is not very difficult as long as there is no authentication
involved. If you do have to support authenticating proxies, you may be
much better off upgrading to Java 1.5 or using HttpClient 3.1 with Java
1.3
Hope this helps
