Re: [rest-assured] Proxy support

[Johan Haleby]

Hi,

There's no built-in support for it (since I haven't had the need for it myself :)) but maybe it will work by configuring the underlying http client to use a HttpClient proxy. So if I understand it correctly it's possible to configure the http client proxy by setting the "ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY" parameter to the http client. In REST Assured you can access http client parameters using the http client detailed config. So after you've created your http client proxy you should be able to enable it like this (for ALL requests):

RestAssured.config = newConfig().httpClient(httpClientConfig().setParam(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, httpProxyInstance);

Please come back to us if it works.

Regards,

/Johan

Hi All,

I was wondering how to set proxy in the request. Does Rest Assured has support proxy?

Thanks

Hi Joan, 

Thanks for your valuable input on http proxy support.

I have followed your steps and configured http client with proxy settings as show below

HttpHost httpProxyInstance = new HttpHost("proxyhostname",80);

RestAssured.config = newConfig().httpClient(httpClientConfig().setParam(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, httpProxyInstance));

Response res = get("some http url");

But it not not work. Not sure if I missed anything.

Thanks

Ramesh

Me neither.. Maybe they've changed something in version 4.2 of HTTP Client or there's something else that's wrong. I would probably debug into http client code and see if the "httpProxyInstance" is being picked up or not.

Hi, 

Hmm I don't have a good answer to this.. How do you try to apply the proxy settings in Rest Assured and how do you do it with plain HTTP Client?

Hello.

Actually I'm having the same problem with version 1.7.2... When I use HTTP Client directly (4.2.3), proxy is used ok. But not with setting config in RestAssured.
I couldn't exactly debug it, only looked at http client log - no traces of proxy.

[Irene]

Exactly like Ramesh above :) Also tried to apply config directly like this:
given().config(newConfig().httpClient(httpClientConfig().setParam(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, httpProxyInstance))).expect()...

With plain HTTP Client:
 HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost({proxy ip}, {proxy port}, "http");
 DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
 httpclient.getParams().setParameter(ConnRoutePNames.DEFAULT_PROXY, proxy);
HttpHost target = new HttpHost({url here}, 80, "http");
HttpRequest req = new HttpGet("/");
HttpResponse rsp = httpclient.execute(target, req);

I have a really hard time testing/verifying since this I don't have a proxy server at hand. It would be really awesome if you could help out and track down what happens in the code to find out why the proxy parameter is ignored when using REST Assured (RA) or if there's something else that RA is missing..

And I can't properly understand what happens in Groovy code... I get to the method which sends request, but can't localize the code where httpclient is configured.
If it helps, you may try to use Browsermob-proxy (https://github.com/webmetrics/browsermob-proxy) - or maybe explain to me how to get to httpclient in the RA code :) Sorry for dumbness.

[Johan Haleby]

Hehe no problem. Thanks for the tip to the Browsermob-proxy. Could you please add an issue for this at the rest assured google code page so that I do not forget about it?

Issue 214

Thank you!

[Johan Haleby]

I haven't had time to look at it yet. If you get something to work with the help of configuration please let us know. If you like you can also dig into the source and help out with a pull request.

Hi there,

any updates on this yet. I'm currently stuck without a working proxy.
Any workarounds appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Johan,

thanks for the quick reply. Tried a little debugging in AbstractHttpClient.execute, but didn't find anything suspicious (is this the right place to look?). But I'm not deep enough in this topic, so I'm probably not the best pic for debugging this.

I haven't had time to look at it. As I said before, please help out if it's important for you.

Hallo together,

I have the same problem with the proxy in REST-Assured.

Are there any movements?

Hi,

Regarding a proxy, https://www.fiddler2.com/ might also be a good alternative if someone wants to hop on fixing the issue.

Cheers,

Hi,

Can anyone please let me know if there is an update on this topic? I followed the last reply in https://code.google.com/p/rest-assured/issues/detail?id=214:

static {
	System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", "yourProxyHost");
	System.setProperty("https.proxyPort", "yourProxyPort"); 

}

and it didn't work for me. What I am trying to do is to use Rest-Assured with Charles. I used the default 8888 proxy port and either with/without enabling transparent HTTP proxy.

Thanks in advance.
