Proxy support

[spifd]

Hi, it looks like HBC does not support HTTP/HTTPS proxy. Any plan?

[kevinoliver]

No plans to add that.

That said, HBC uses Apache httpclient which I believe should support a proxy. I haven't looked into how its done, but I suspect google/stackoverflow could get you there. ClientBase takes an HttpClient as a parameter, so if its properly configured, maybe you can make it work?

I've looked and easily patched ClientBuilder to pass proxy to Http client: it works (this was just for a sample during a training). Now, I haven't looked if this client can be exposed cleanly. One way would be to check for system property http.proxy* but it is not very clean.

Closing since we have no plans to add this in the immediate term. We'd be open to a patch though.

#149 fixes this.

Hi!

Just wondering when this will be available as a "maven deployment" (maven repository)? Guess there are quite a lot of people, like myself, out there lurking behind FWs... :)

Cheers
