Hello, I have a problem with the commons-httpclient package (jakarta). Suppose I want to send a POST request (PostMethod in commons-httpclient) to the URL http://my-server:9999/Test. The commons-httpclient generates a request looking like this:
POST /Test HTTP/1.1 User Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.0-rc2 HOST: my-server:9999 ... This is a valid request. But in our intranet the request is blocked by a firewall, because of the relative path in the request line (first line). The firewall needs a request like this: POST http://my-server:9999/Test HTTP/1.1 User Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.0-rc2 HOST: my-server:9999 ... This format is mandatory (RFC 2616) if the request is send via a proxy. I've examined the commons-httpclient code and found out that the complete URL is written in the request line if I set a proxy in the HttpClient class (in the HostConfiguration). But I don't know the URL of the proxy where the firewall runs. Is there another way to force the commons-httpclient to write the full URL? I've tried to set the destination server as proxy, too (in the example above I've set my-server:9999 as proxy). This worked in a local environment. I haven't tested if this will work in our intranet (since the test will take some time) and it also looks a little bit like a dirty workaround to me.
