GCM through Proxy

[Murugesan D]

Hi All , 

I am trying to work GCM through proxy . I don't find any way to give my proxy details in the GCM server docs . 

I tried to set the System.setProperty as described in StackOverFlow .  But it is not working for me .

The only way i can able to work it by modifying the gcm-server .  [ Included proxy details in Post() method . ]

I am not sure about the license is allowed to modify the GCM server source and use it for commercial purpose .  

Please let me know is this possible ?

Waiting for the positive response .

Thanks

Hi Murugesan,

The GCM library code is released under the Apache Software License 2.0, which allow you to modify it for commercial purpose.

Regarding the issue itself, if you think it would be useful to change the server to support proxies, please create a feature request on https://code.google.com/p/gcm/issues/list describing the use case scenario (and the proposed solution).

import com.google.android.gcm.server.Sender;

public class GCMProxySender extends Sender {

    @Override

    protected HttpURLConnection getConnection(String url) throws IOException {

        Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress(this.getProxyHost(), this.getProxyPort()));

        HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection(proxy);

        return conn;

    }
