Proxy authentication support for the Tomcat Websocket Client
I'm writing a websocket client using the Tomcat JSR356 compliant websocket library. My client must connect through a proxy that requires authentication. I've successfully connected through the proxy without authentication using the JDK ProxySelector. But I can't figure out how to configure proxy authentication. I have checked the connectToServer code in WsWebSocketContainer.java and it appears that proxy authentication is not supported. Can someone confirm whether proxy authentication is or is not supported by the library?

Sure.
Patches are always welcome.
The list often strips and/or mangles formatting for attachments so best to create a Bugzilla issue and attach your patch there.

I created a patch file off the git branch and attached that to bug 62312.

PRs against github.com/apache/tomcat work too.
We have to manually apply them to svn (until we migrate to git) but that is not a major hassle.

I have the changes in a git branch I forked off of the trunk. Is there some way I can push that branch up to you?

Thank you for confirming.
Proxy authentication is a requirement for the project I am working on so I went and added it. You are welcome to the code if you want it. I pass the credentials as user properties in the WebSocketContainer's ClientEndpointConfig object. This is how it was done with HTTP authentication. As a matter of fact, the code is very similar to the HTTP authentication.
Let me know if you want the code.

Looking at the code, I can confirm that proxy authentication is not supported.
Adding proxy authentication support looks fairly simple.
The biggest question looks to be be what API to use to specify the credentials.
