Sangjin Lee commented on GERONIMO-3706:
---------------------------------------
I have a suggestion that I suspect will work for the SSL tunneling. The notion
of mina IoFilters is exactly for this type of operations. Once inserted in the
chain, IoFilters can intercept events and messages in either direction, and
take its own action and/or forward it to the next filter.
My idea revolves around creating a *one-time* IoFilter that does the HTTP
CONNECT transaction once the socket is connected. Once it receives a
successful response from the proxy as a result of the CONNECT request, then it
can *remove itself from the chain* (as it's fulfilled its purpose) and add the
SSL filter to the chain to create the layering.
It may sound sneaky, but it might be a natural solution given the mina
architecture.
I'll see if I can work out a proof of concept...

> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Components: AsyncHttpClient
> Affects Versions: 1.x
> Reporter: Sangjin Lee
>
> Proxy support is a critical feature for HTTP clients. I'd like to have
> AsyncHttpClient support proxy. The following would be considered as the
> basic features:
> - Enabling connecting through proxies for http and https targets
> - Exclusion (domains that should not go through proxies)
> - Allowing proxy related configuration on AsyncHttpClient
> - Support for proxy authentication, at least for Basic authentication (and
> perhaps Digest too?)
> There are things like SOCKS support, etc., but the above will be a good
> start. Thoughts?
