Re: NIO extensions and using a proxy server

[Asankha C. Perera]

Thanks Oleg and Roland for the quick replies! I agree with your views on the use of System properties to be container friendly, and am currently only interested in simple proxying, and thus should be able to do what I want with the Proxy-Connection directive. regards asankha Roland Weber wrote: Hi Asankha, I believe HttpCore/NIO extensions does not support the standard Java system properties that supports proxy servers (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/proxies.html). That is correct. Is this something planned for a future release? No, in core never. In client maybe as an optional feature. The FAQ for HttpClient still applies in this case: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/FrequentlyAskedApplicationDesignQuestions#head-4808398f4e6d318df33672d886d1f27bd2845277 The next alpha of HttpClient will have an interface HttpRoutePlanner that can be implemented based on the system properties. We're not planning to do that at this time, and it is of course not integrated with HttpNIO anyway. For what it's worth, I believe that the HttpRoute related classes in HttpConn are useful for NIO applications, too. You might want to have a look at them. The logic for route building with blocking IO is implemented in the DefaultHttpRequestDirector. hope that helps, 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]
