Thanks John! So from this configuration it looks like there is no way to
control socks proxy setting on a per request basis through HttpClient? We have
a scenario where we let users give proxy configuration information to our
system, and we in turn make an HTTP request on their behalf, therefore we can't
make a system-wide property setting since we don't know what proxies the user
will provide.
Previously in the JDK implementation we were doing:
Proxy.Type type;
String scheme = # User input;
if (scheme != null && scheme.equalsIgnoreCase("socks")) {
type = Proxy.Type.SOCKS;
} else {
type = Proxy.Type.HTTP;
}
String host = # User input
int port = # User input
InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress(host, port);
return new Proxy(type, address);
Then pass that proxy into the httpurlconnection for URI:
URL u = new URL("http://www.somewhere.com/hidden";);
HttpURLConnection ucon = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection(p);
Now it appears we don't have that option in HttpClient?
Thanks again for the help!

"Transparent connections through SOCKS proxies (version 4 & 5) using
native Java socket support"
Please look at this - http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/features.html
You should use something lake that -
System.setProperty("socksProxySet", "false");
System.setProperty("socksProxyHost", "localhost");
System.setProperty("socksProxyPort", "1080");
