Answer 1

I was able to get through the proxy by using the following piece of code.

Added some new lines to Snehasish Code

final String authUser = "username";
final String authPassword = "password";
Authenticator.setDefault(
   new Authenticator() {
      public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
         return new PasswordAuthentication(
               authUser, authPassword.toCharArray());
      }
   }
);
url = new URL("http://www.somewebsite.com/sendmyrequest");

connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setFollowRedirects(true);

System.getProperties().put("http.proxyHost", "proxy.xyz.com");
System.getProperties().put("http.proxyPort", "portNumber");
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", authUser);
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", authPassword);
System.getProperties().put("http.proxySet", "true");
