Authenticating Web Proxy

[John Lonergan]

We have wc.setProxyServer( "server", port );

But how do we supply the uid/pwd credentials to the webproxy ?

[Anonymous]

WebConversation context = new WebConversation();

String pwd = "proxy_username") + ":" + "proxy_password";
BASE64Encoder B64Encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
String encodedPassword = B64Encoder.encode(pwd.getBytes());

Properties systemProperties = System.getProperties();
systemProperties.setProperty("proxySet", "true");
systemProperties.setProperty("proxyHost", "your_proxy_name");
systemProperties.setProperty("proxyPort", "your_proxy_port");
System.setProperties(systemProperties);

try{
  context.setHeaderField("Proxy-Authorization", "Basic"+encodedPassword);
}
catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}
