Hi,
I've recently needed to use a http proxy with java.net methods. To set
this, the options -Dhttp.proxyHost=wwwcache.bris.ac.uk
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 have to be set on the java command. j2se1.4 did
not recognise http_proxy environment variables, even though they are
set.
I've not yet tried with other JVMs, but if they do the same, should this be reported as a bug?
hi,
there does exist 2 main-areas for proxy-configurations under java.
=> Proxy-Setup for Java-Applications => Proxy-Setup for Java-Applets
1. java-application use the following proxy-variables *****************************************************
Java-Applikationen ------------------ http.proxyHost (default: <none>) http.proxyPort (default: 80 if http.proxyHost specified) http.nonProxyHosts (default: <none>
ftp.proxyHost (default: <none>) ftp.proxyPort (default: 80 if ftp.proxyHost specified) ftp.nonProxyHosts (default: <none>)
socksProxyHost socksProxyPort (default: 1080)
user.name
More infos under => http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/properties.html
Older Variables --------------- proxySet=true proxyHost= proxyPort=
if u like to activate a proxy u should always set the new AND the old form!
2. java-applets use the following proxy-variables *************************************************
Java-Plugin (Applets) --------------------- javaplugin.proxy.usebrowsersettings=false javaplugin.proxy.bypass=ggg, hhh javaplugin.proxy.auto.url=http\://www.xxx.de javaplugin.proxy.settings=http\=111;https\=222;ftp\=333;gopher\=444;socks\=555
3. Other variables
------------------
Sometimes u will read in diff. forums that more or other varibles does exist or will be used. but thats not true for the standard-java.
