Hi Halewijn,
I strongly recommend to sniff in a Wireshark between Client and Proxy herby. Then use first a client which works and safe recorded protocols. Then take your axis2 client and see what goes on. I am nearly sure that your client works with basic Authentication but your proxy server intends to use a more cryptic protocol like Digest or NTLM or some form of auto negotiating, in which case it tries to use NTLM first. You should deliver up-front a hint to the proxy that you intend to use basic authentication. I had to do so for SVN working on OpenVMS. All was working fine with SVN on PC as this understands auto negotiating and then use basic authentication came to work. But not so on OpenVMS. I had to use a java switch -Dhttp.auth.preference=Basic while starting SVNkit (a java impl), and all works fine as the Proxy was responding correctly to a basic Authentication Request.

If I try to connect through a proxy that requires authentication, I can't connect to the service. If I use a proxy that doesn't require authentication, it works. I used axis2_svc_client_set_proxy_with_auth to set the proxy. I set up a squid proxy server and used basic authentication through a custom written authenticator so I could print what the input was, but nothing gets printed. I tested the proxy using both Safari and Firefox and everything works correctly. I also tried to connect to the service via the proxy ( with authentication ) using the curl command line tool and that also worked correctly. I generated client code from the service wsdl file using WSDL2C. This is the code I use to connect to the service: ... axutil_error* theError = NULL; axutil_env_t* theEnvironment = NULL; axis2_stub_t* theStub = NULL; axis2_status_t theSetProxyStatus = AXIS2_SUCCESS; theError = axutil_error_create( axutil_allocator_init( NULL ) ); theEnvironment = axutil_env_create_with_error( axutil_allocator_init( NULL ), theError ); if ( theEnvironment ) { theStub = axis2_stub_create_MyService( theEnvironment, inAxis2cFolder.c_str(), inMyServiceAddress.c_str() ); if ( theStub ) { if ( ! inHost.empty() ) { std::ostringstream thePortStringStream; thePortStringStream << inPortNumber; theSetProxyStatus = axis2_svc_client_set_proxy_with_auth( axis2_stub_get_svc_client( theStub, theEnvironment ), theEnvironment, const_cast<char*>( inHost.c_str() ), const_cast<char*>( thePortStringStream.str().c_str() ), ( inUserName.empty() ? NULL : const_cast<char*>( inUserName.c_str() ) ), ( inPassword.empty() ? NULL : const_cast<char*>( inPassword.c_str() ) ) ); } if ( AXIS2_SUCCESS == theSetProxyStatus ) { adb_MyServiceCall_t* theDoServiceCallRequest = adb_MyServiceCall_create( theEnvironment ); if ( theMyServiceCallRequest ) { axis2_status_t theSetRequestXMLStatus = adb_MyServiceCall_set_RequestXML( theMyServiceCallRequest, theEnvironment, inRequestString.c_str() ); if ( AXIS2_SUCCESS == theSetRequestXMLStatus ) { adb_MyServiceCallResponse_t* theMyServiceCallResponse = axis2_stub_op_MyService_MyServiceCall( theStub, theEnvironment, theMyServiceCallRequest ); if ( theMyServiceCallResponse ) { axis2_char_t* theMyServiceCallResultValue = adb_MyServiceCallResponse_get_MyServiceCallResult( theMyServiceCallResponse, theEnvironment ); if ( theMyServiceCallResultValue ) { outResponseString.assign( theMyServiceCallResultValue ); ... If I build axis2c with curl, then connecting through a proxy doesn't work at all, even without authentication. Is my code wrong or is this a bug in the axis2c library? Kr Halewijn
