Proxy servers

[Quafadas]

Does this library work behind a corporate proxy.
I think the keywords in python are somehow verify="cert/location",proxies="proxy"... couldn't see anything in the docs so assuming it's not currently implemented. Will try and look but it's probably beyond my skills :-(.

Or is this solved by the open pull request? (he asks hopefully)

@Quafadas I had the same issue and I couldn't find anything on the library. However, you can set your JVM to go through the proxy.

We used something like this:

case class Proxy(url: String, port: Int, user: Option[String] = None, pass: Option[String] = None, scheme: String = "http") {
  override def toString: String = s"PROXY (URL: $url; PORT: $port; SCHEME: $scheme)"
}

object Proxies extends LoggingSupport {
  def autoSetup(config: ConfigurationReader) = {
    val proxies = config.PROXIES

    if (proxies.nonEmpty) {
      logger.info("Setting up proxies.")
    } else {
      logger.info("No proxies found.")
    }

    proxies.foreach { proxy =>
      logger.debug(proxy.toString)

      System.setProperty(s"${proxy.scheme}.proxyHost", proxy.url)
      System.setProperty(s"${proxy.scheme}.proxyPort", proxy.port.toString)

      proxy.user.foreach(user => System.setProperty(s"${proxy.scheme}.proxyUser", user))
      proxy.pass.foreach(pass => System.setProperty(s"${proxy.scheme}.proxyPassword", pass))
    }

    config.PROXY_BYPASS.foreach(exp => System.setProperty("https.nonProxyHosts", exp))
    config.PROXY_BYPASS.foreach(exp => System.setProperty("http.nonProxyHosts", exp))
  }
}

Notice that this implementation is based on the Oracle documentation that can be found here.

Okay, thanks for the above. I'll let you know if I get any mileage.
I had a dig into the code and there does appears to be support for proxies=(String, Int)... in the requests arguments, although it's not documented.

But I think our proxy is doing something weird. I can send a request to the service which gives me back a token, but I think the proxy is stripping the Authorization header of the subsequent requests. I can only ever get back unauthorised... but I can test in Postman etc, that the Authorization header I'm sending is correct... and Postman itself works.

I'm lost :-( ... but I'm not sure the problems are in this library... I have a hint that it may be to do with getting SSL correctly setup with client certs... but mostly... I'm just lost.

TO clarify this, I can never get beyond this stage;

Hey, look into my closed issue #59
Maybe it help you.

@mdrijwan123 thanks for that post! Unfortunately, providing username/password credentials in the URL didn't work for me (seems that the library is using java.net.Proxy and passing in an InetSocketAddress, which only accepts a host/ip). I also subsequently realized that proxy auth never worked, so I went down a rabbit hole attempting to fix this in #100.
