I believe the android.net.Proxy class is intended to be used for default carrier proxies, which don't require credentials (but rather use the fact that the device is on the private carrier network as auth) not for connecting through your own proxy server with authentication.
You should be able to do your own proxy stuff though, with credentials, using the straight up HttpClient classes - looks like you are almost there. Check out the HttpClient 4 examples. http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/examples.html This specific example should work on Android, all these classes are there (or so it appears from a quick glance): http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/module-client/src/examples/org/apache/http/examples/client/ClientProxyAuthentication.java On Oct 26, 3:21 pm, Sean Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > My Android application uses HttpClient (org.apache.http.client) to > connect to a remote web service. > > I want my application to play nicely with HTTP proxies.
