I am having trouble finding any definitive information on this from the web. I am thinking that this issue comes the fact that Firefox sets up the proxy servers incorrectly.
Checking the checkbox in Firefox to have all the proxies use the same host and port sets up the HTTP proxy and the SOCKS proxy to use the same host and port. Is this a valid configuration? It seems that SOCKS and HTTP work on different levels of the TCP stack, so their proxies would as well. Therefore, forcing them to be the same would never be valid. Can anyone help shed some light on this for me?

You're on 5.0 or later, which has the ProxySelector class. I stumbled over that one before, when I did some digging for the Application Design FAQ: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/FrequentlyAskedApplicationDesignQu estions#head-b97e4a161e34e2f9ecefa891cdb92bb0a09e6746 I'm still working in 1.4 environments, so I keep forgetting (or avoid getting used to) the newer features. I'm glad you solved your problems! cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
