Question

public class ConnectThroughProxy 
{
    Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Pr         


        

Answer 1

I was using the Google Data APIs and the only way I got the proxy settings to work was to provide ALL the parameters related to proxy, even thought they are set to be empty:

/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_04/bin/java -Dhttp.proxyHost=10.128.128.13 
    -Dhttp.proxyPassword -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 -Dhttp.proxyUserName 
    -Dhttps.proxyHost=10.128.128.13 -Dhttps.proxyPassword -Dhttps.proxyPort=80 
    -Dhttps.proxyUserName com.stackoverflow.Runner

Where, username and password are NOT required, and the same http and https servers are set to be the same, as well as the port number (if that's your case as well). Note that the same HTTP proxy is also provided as the HTTPS server, as well as its port number (reference from https://code.google.com/p/syncnotes2google/issues/detail?id=2#c16).

If your Java class has an instance of the class "URL", it should pick those configurations up...
