Hi, HTTPClient is going to be configured either to use proxy or not to use proxy. If you have configured for a proxy, try to use that instance for all data transfer
If you have an HTTPCLient instance configured not to use proxy, use this instance for sending data to host. If you are having multiple proxy servers in your environment wherein you would like to dynamically use different HTTPClient instance, one for each proxy, then you could use the instance you choose based on your own data structure which knows which HTTPClient instance to use. regards Vasu On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 11:15 PM, Gurmeet Budhraja < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Vasu for the steps mentioned.
