Http proxy in HttpBrowser

[pawelantczak]

Can we set http proxy to be used in HttpRequest/Browser?

Hey Paweł, thank you for stopping by again :)

Not in a easy way at the moment, i think. But see #55, I will add support so this kind of things (custom sockets) can be easily added; moreover, I will add support for proxies - just need to do a little refactoring first.

TL;DR

The idea is that you will be able to set a HttpSocketProvider (new class, ex. HttpTransfer) in HttpBrowser with proxy definition, and use that one during the whole session. Something like:

HttpBrowser browser = new HttpBrowser();
browser.setProxy(host, port...);
// the rest is the same

Internal

Internally you would configure the HttpSocketProvider instance stored in HttpBrowser that will be passed to open() method of HttpRequest; so not to use default one.

Ok, I have added basic support for SOCKS proxies (with two latest commits), but without authentication. I will try to add different SocketFactories for different proxies (socks4, socks5 and http), but need a bit more time ;)

One way how to use it:

    HttpBrowser httpBrowser = new HttpBrowser();
    httpBrowser.setProxyInfo(ProxyInfo.httpProxy("192.168.0.106", 808, "user", "password"));

    httpBrowser.sendRequest(HttpRequest.get("google.com"));
    HttpResponse response = httpBrowser.getHttpResponse();
    System.out.println(response);

There is http, socks4 and socks5 implementation. Not for SSL (yet).

Enjoy!

Now,download the latest version(3.4.10 all (10)) from Maven we can't see this imporvement When can we use it form Maven ?

[igr]

Yes, its not released yet as Maven artifact. We will release SNAPSHOT during the next weekend.

Meanwhile, you can build it locally and play with it 😄 It is very easy to build it: http://jodd.org/source.html
