Thanks for reply. I think this use case is real use case. Most of the
comanies and people are using java on middle tier that locates behind
firewalls.
We can plugging through more than one proxies but that is really not secured.
Other solution is to write custom protocol handler to support multiple proxiesc
but HttpClient does not support it since it does not use URLStreamHandler
internally.
I think there is no other solution with HttpClient to support multiple proxies
at this time.
I have customized HttpClient and HttpMethodDirector classes to tunnel through
configured number of proxies and working fine.
Please consider it for next major release.

> HttpClient supports one proxy currently.
> Our requirement is to suppport more than one proxy. We may need to connect
> more than one proxies before connects to target resource.
> I found that HttpMethodDirector creates tunnelled socket and there is no easy
> way to plugin our custom HttpMethodDirector class with HttpClient other than
> extending HttpClient to override "public int executeMethod(HostConfiguration
> hostconfig, final HttpMethod method, final HttpState state" method.
