Apple engineers have some questions about proxy settings in JDK (not
deploy or applets).
1) Does the JDK support Automatic proxy configuration (WPAD) ? They know
that applets and Webstart do, but they are interested in standalone
java applications.
No.
2) Does the JDK support PAC files ? (Again, they know that applets and
webstart does, through the browser settings).
No this requires a javascript interpreter which we don't have in
standalone JDK.
3) On windows, does the JDK (not deploy) actually use the system proxy
settings as defined in control panel ?
Actually, on Windows, it does not seem to, but they wanted to be sure.
They are aware that we can specify java properties on the command line
to use the proxy as documented here:
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/properties.html
Actually that same document specifies that setting the system property
java.net.useSystemProxies to true will do the trick.
However in Windows the way we recover the settings might be a bit
antiquated (we use registry entries used by I.E.).
I think there is a bug/RFE filed on tis.
In the above list there is no setting for a PAC file or auto-config.
Is there a contact in the networking team that Apple could get in touch
with?
That would be me, or the rest of the networking team
(net-dev@openjdk.java.net)
Thanks,
