handling proxy authentication

[Kevin Burton]

What's the best way to enable proxy authentication?  

I don't see this documented anywhere really....

Hi,

You can enable proxy authentication using the withProxyAuthenticator() API on the bootstrap. Note that this supports only basic authentication.

Thanks

Hello,

How is this used? Is it possible to get a small example of how the client would connect? I tried playing around with the "withProxyAuthenticator", but couldn't get a client connected.

Hi Simon,

You need to send a HTTP header which satisfies the rules of HTTP basic authentication described here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication#Client_side. Note that instead of the "Authorization" header in the Wikipedia page, you need to send a "Proxy-Authorization" header to authenticate to proxies. 

Can you let me know which HTTP client you use? I can check for the correct way to authenticate to proxies for that client.

Thanks
