What operating system is running on the machine where the STAF HTTP service registered?
I assume adding the FOLLOWREDIRECT option on your DOGET request does not help? The STAF HTTP service uses HttpClient 3.1 under the covers. Unfortunately, it appears that HttpClient does not make use of this environment variable or system properties. Proxy configuration must be set through an HttpClient API (e.g. HostConfiguration.setProxy) and the STAF HTTP service does not provide currently support a way to do that. I found this information about the HttpClient at http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hc-httpclient-users/200903.mbox/browser. You can open a feature request for the STAF HTTP service to provide proxy support. I think that the HTTP service could do something like the following to set a proxy. We'd also have to provide a way for the STAF HTTP service to get the proxy information. // Set proxy httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(host, port); Or, you could try updating the STAF HTTP service yourself to provide proxy support and contribute that back to the STAF project. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Lucas IBM Austin, luc...@us.ibm.com (512) 286-7313 or Tieline 363-7313 From: Phil Rumble <prum...@au1.ibm.com> To: Sharon Lucas/Austin/i...@ibmus Cc: staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: 09/22/2010 07:43 PM Subject: Re: [staf-users] STAF HTTP service and HTTP Proxies I am running the HTTP service on a system that all HTTP traffic must go through a proxy.

Is that what you're wanting to do? If not, please provide more information. -------------------------------------------------------------- Sharon Lucas IBM Austin, luc...@us.ibm.com (512) 286-7313 or Tieline 363-7313 From: Phil Rumble <prum...@au1.ibm.com> To: staf-users@lists.sourceforge.net Date: 09/21/2010 09:49 PM Subject: [staf-users] STAF HTTP service and HTTP Proxies How do I configure the HTTP staf service to work behind a http proxy?
