proxy server

[Felipe Walker]

I am trying to connect to a webserver that uses a proxy server.

Tried the code below but keep geting the server error 407
the substitute the0.0.0.0 with the server ip address and username assword for my username and password

url = new URL("http://0.0.0.0/test/" + filename);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
String password = "username assword";
String encodedPassword = b64c.encode(password);
connection.setRequestProperty( "Proxy-Authorization", encodedPassword);


InputStream is = url.openStream();


BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
while( (record=br.readLine()) != null ) {
System.out.println(record);
}
is.close();
}

Hi Felipe

You should try,
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "yourproxyserver.yourdomain.com");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "yourproxyport");

Here is the link from sun forum,
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=640068&tstart=135

The only issue with this is- it sets proxy in JVM System Property hence it ends up applying to ALL requests made after this setting..So you will have to remember to remove those property when done..
