Did anyone verify if SSL through a proxy works or not with the apache SOAP
client? I've tried it and have been unable to get it to work. Is anyone
pursuing a fix, such as the one proposed in the note from a while ago...
Apparently communicating through a proxy with SSL required some extra
tunneling code. If the URL is https, and a proxy has been set, then use the
tunneling code.

Subject: Apache SOAP V2.2 client using SSL behind a proxy doesn't work
Hi,
reading the docs of Apache SOAP V2.2 I got the impression that an Apache
SOAP client is able to talk to a SOAP server via SSL thru a proxy by just
adding two lines to the code:
FAQ_Tomcat_SOAP_SSL.html
=====================================================
Step 4b: Java SSL Client with Proxy [Optional]
If your client needs to use a proxy server in order to access the SOAP
service, then add the following lines to your code:
System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", "proxy"); // set name of proxy
server that supports ssl
System.setProperty("https.proxyPort", "8080"); // set port number for
proxy server that supports ssl
=====================================================
Unfortunatly this doesn't work, these properties aren't used at all. As I
understand it the code for aquiring a SSLSocket in the class SSLUtils isn't
prepared for proxy handling. I did a quick hack and included the code of
the JSSE sample SSLSocketClientWithTunneling.java to SSLUtils and now it
works as I expect it.
Is this feature suppossed to work or is just the documentation inaccurate ?
