The exception "Error opening socket: java.net.UnknownHostException" means pretty much
what it says: the code could not resolve an IP address for the host you specified in
setProxyHost. Are you certain you are setting the correct value?
Also, note that the setUserName and setPassword methods set the credentials for HTTP
Basic Authentication, not for proxy authentication. If you want to authenticate with
the proxy, you should call setProxyUserName and setProxyPassword.

Subject: getting outside the proxy
Hello,
Can someone PLEASE give me some advice / examples of how to get through our corporate
proxy server to an outside URL? I have tried the following code without any luck:
SOAPHTTPConnection soapHTTPConnection = new SOAPHTTPConnection();
soapHTTPConnection.setProxyHost("proxyserver.somedomain.com");
soapHTTPConnection.setProxyPort(portNumber);
soapHTTPConnection.setUserName("userid");
soapHTTPConnection.setPassword("password");
with I receive the following error everytime:
[SOAPException: faultCode=SOAP-ENV:Client; msg=Error opening socket:
java.net.UnknownHostException: .....
..................
at org.apache.soap.transport.http.SOAPHTTPConnection.send(SOAPHTTPConnection.java:354)
Any help would be GREATLY apprecaited!!!!
