Bob,
You are absolutely right about method.getHostConfiguration() taking
precedence over client.getHostConfiguration(). However, HttpClient does
copy the proxy information from the agent host config to the method host
config. So, that should not be the reason for proxy problems Madeleine
has been having.
We realize this can be horribly confusing. As of release 3.0 the use of
HttpMethod#getHostConfiguration() will be deprecated and discouraged

I believe that your problem is the fact that by calling the "GetMethod(url)"
constructor, you are creating a method with its own host configuration; in
this case, the method's host configuration is used when the method is
executed (as opposed to the default host configuration that you have created
on the connection).
In other words, the host, port, and path information for the specific method
invocation are extracted from the URL that you used to construct the
GetMethod. If you replace this code:
client.getHostConfiguration()...
with this code:
method.getHostConfiguration()...
You should be all set. Either that or call the parameter-less GetMethod
constructor, which will cause it to default to the host configuration for
your client.
OR you could call:
client.executeMethod( client.getHostConfiguration(), method,
client.getState())
That should work, too.
Hope that helps,
Bob

Madeleine,
Stupid question but is your proxy server using NTLM authentication?
I had to do some hoop jumping to get NTLM to work properly, but it's working
now if you need some code.

Subject: getting through a proxy server
Please can someone suggest the simplest way to access a URL
programatically through a proxy server? I'm using HttpClient and the
proxy bits of my code look like this (everything else works fine - I can
access all sites inside the firewall):
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
................. client.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(proxyHost,
proxyPort); Credentials creds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(userName,
password); client.getState().setProxyCredentials(realm, proxyHost,
defaultcreds); ....................... GetMethod method = new
GetMethod(url);
I realize I seem to be supplying proxy host details twice! But I can't
otherwise see how to set the proxy port? I keep getting an "access
denied" message from the proxy server, indicating that I have not
authenticated myself. Does anyone know how I do that other than the
method above (I am sure the actual proxy details given are correct).
Thanks.
Mad
