RE: Axis C++ 1.6 client app connecting using https through http proxy
Ryan, Just send the stuff to me.I think you can also attach files to the jira.. If not, I can attach the files when you send them. thanks.

Axis C++ 1.6 client app connecting using https through http proxy
Hi, this is my first post, I've searched the list but couldn't find the answer to my problem. I have installed Axis C++ 1.6, Xerces and OpenSSL on Windows XP, and set up the environment variable AXISCPP_DEPLOY and edited axiscpp.conf. I am trying to make an HTTPS connection to a web service through an HTTP proxy. I can connect successfully using Axis for Java, but I also want to do it in C++. In C++, I have code similar to the following: MyWebService api; api.setProxy(199.172.46.58, 8080); addCredentialsHeader(api, username, password); // local function that constructs a header api.myMethod(); I do the above inside a try block. When the application calls myMethod(), it catches the following exception: Axis exception 23: HTTPTransportException:Unknown Transport Exception error:140770FC: SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol I used Wireshark to see what's being sent through the network. First, I checked with the Axis Java application, which works ok. It sends a plain-text HTTP CONNECT request to the proxy server. The proxy server then responds and the encrypted text is subsequently sent to the web service through HTTP tunneling. When I use Wireshark with my equivalent Axis C++ application, I can see that it connects to the proxy server and then sends what looks like random binary data instead of a CONNECT request. Could it be encrypting it prematurely? Obviously, the proxy server doesn't understand it, so it sends back an HTTP 500 Server Error. Can anyone give me any help? Has anyone successfully managed to connect to an HTTPS service through an HTTP proxy? Thanks, Klitos
Re: Axis C++ 1.6 client app connecting using https through http proxy
Klitos, I am willing to work on this if you help me understand what needs to be done. There is an issue about tunneling here: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXISCPP-899 Maybe if you send me the traces and/or point me to something that tells me how this is suppose to work I can take a look into it.

RE: Axis C++ 1.6 client app connecting using https through http proxy
Nadir, I think in HTTPTransport::setProxy( const char *pcProxyHost, unsigned int uiProxyPort) You need to force the unsecure channel to be used. Klitos, is it true that all communication to the Proxy server is unencrypted, but the communication from the proxy server to your web service is encrypted? -Ryan -Original Message- From: Nadir Amra [mailto:a...@us.ibm.com] Sent: Friday, January 23, 2009 3:49 PM To: Apache AXIS C User List Subject: Re: Axis C++ 1.6 client app connecting using https through http proxy Klitos, I am willing to work on this if you help me understand what needs to be done.

Re: Axis C++ 1.6 client app connecting using https through http proxy
Hi Ryan, Yes, communication to and from the proxy server is unencrypted HTTP requests and responses. As for whether the communication from the proxy server to your web service is encrypted, I am not sure as I am not an expert on HTTP. As I understand it (and my understanding here is very vague), the client sends an HTTP CONNECT request to the proxy server and that establishes a way of talking to the final destination (web service) using HTTP tunneling. I think this means the client continues to send plain-text HTTP requests to the proxy server but the payload data is encrypted. I can send traces, if you need them, on Monday when I get back to work.
