Direct reads of proxyUser and proxyPassword system properties were added by Oleg in https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/HTTPCLIENT/issues/HTTPCLIENT-1732 presumbably to fix the case where the user did provide some values in system properties with the de facto undocumented proxyUser key, but doesn't have any code which reads them and manually registers a default Authenticator with them ? ( also found these two https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/HTTPCLIENT/issues/HTTPCLIENT-1883 https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/pull/123 https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/HTTPCLIENT/issues/HTTPCLIENT-2119 documentation ) Seems like Oleg is the person with the most knowledge on the subject. @rschmitt just to be sure, you are proposing that all proxy authentication requires that the program must contain a call to Authenticator.setDefault (with values from unspecified sources, each program must choose, no standard like -DproxyUser -DproxyPassword) ? So have the same behavior wrt locus of control for authentication as the jdk itself ? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
