Proxy By-Pass

[Kevin Wright]

Any ideas on how i can bypass the proxy servers at my company? I can't recognize something as simple as "http://www.cnn.com", or anything like that (i.e., of that commonality).
Thank you.

You probably can't (at least not without the co-operation of your system administrator). But the problem seems to be, rather, that you want use the proxy rather than trying to bypass it (and failing)!
Set the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort system properties (e.g. by setting them on the java command line: java -Dhttp.proxyHost=foo -Dhttp.proxyPort=bar my.Class). The jdk 1.4 documentation has a list of all networking related properties in docs/guide/net/properties.html.

Is https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort not supported anymore in Java 1.4? I checked the docs/guide/net/properties.html and didn't find the said properties which are very important when you are accessing https sites through a proxy server.
Currently I'm having difficulties accessing https sites through a proxy server setting. Although I can set the proxy IP address and port using the https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort properties, my client app is receiving error 407 authentication error from the proxy server. Is there a way where I can set the username/password needed for the proxy server authentication? I'm aware that most proxy servers do not parse https streams since this stream is transmitted through SSL.

Have you checked if your proxy uses some type of authentication? Most proxy servers support basic authentication. if that is your case then I think you can find the answer to your problem at this address
