I got this working. I needed to sent the "CONNECT <host>:<port> HTTP/1.1\r\n" to the proxy server un-encrypted and then read the un-encrypted HTTP 200 OK response.
After that, a tunnel is established to <host>:<port> and you can send the ssl handshake and then the encrypted data. -Ryan From: McCullough, Ryan [mailto:rmccullo...@rightnow.com] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 11:11 AM To: axis-user@ws.apache.org Subject: SSL tunnel (https through proxy) I am trying to add the ability to do SSL tunneling through a proxy server to Axis1 C++. I was curious how this works. I did find some reference works by Ari Luotonen from 1995 and 1998. http://muffin.doit.org/docs/rfc/tunneling_ssl.html http://www.web-cache.com/Writings/Internet-Drafts/draft-luotonen-web-proxy-tunneling-01.txt http://www.w3.org/Daemon/User/Patch/SSL.patch It looks like you need to send an HTTP 'CONNECT <host>:<port> HTTP/1.1\r\n' un-encrypted. The question I have is if the ssl encrypted request follow this http header in the request or if it is a separate request. I guess what I am looking for is what requests are necessary and what the content should be. -Ryan Ryan McCullough | RightNow Technologies | Integration Tools Engineer 406-556-3162 office | Bozeman, MT | rmccullo...@rightnow.com<mailto:rmccullo...@rightnow.com> | http://www.rightnow.com<http://www.rightnow.com/>
