http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15534 Inadequate HTTP proxy server support in HttpClient. ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-05-16 10:29 ------- In HttpClient 2.0 API HttpMethod interface represents both request and response, which effectively implies one to one relationship between a request and a response. Unfortunately this is not always true. For instance, HTTP proxy tunneling requires a CONNECT method to be executed against the server before the original HTTP method can be executed against the target server. Should the CONNECT method fail (due to authorization error, for instance), its response should be returned as if it was a response to the original HTTP method. This is currently not possible due to the monolithic design of HttpMethod interface. The problem has been worked around by providing a method to copy the response content (status line, response headers and response body) from one method onto another. A better, more elegant solution requires HttpMethod interface be split into HttpREquest / HttpResponse pair of interfaces --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
