how to set proxy for httpunit and htmlunit?

[Derek Kozikowski]

I've just started to use Jameleon, and after installing I tried to run the sample tests.  the httpunit-sourceforge.xml and htmlunit-sourceforge.xml fail with the error message "can not connect to 'http://sourceforge.net'."

the jiffie-sourceforge.xml test passes.  selenium-sourceforge.xml test dies with an internal server error.

My guess is that the httpunit and htmlunit test cases are failing because i need to use a proxy to get out of our network.  HTTPUNIT documentation recommends calling WebClient.setProxyServer( host, port ) before each submit.  I'm assuming that I should be able to simply set some configuration setting for Jameleon to handle this for me though.  Is there such a setting?  I couldn't find anything in documentation, and older forum entries said that older versions of Jameleon didn't support proxy user/passwords.  (I don't need a user/password, but I do need a port).  I have the 3.3M4 version from the .zip download installed.

If there is no Jameleon setting, how would I go direct to fix httpunit?

Thanks for your help and/or suggestions.

Hi Derek,

It is documented here:

http://jameleon.sourceforge.net/httpunit-plugin/syntax-reference.html#hu-session

The docs say they aren't context variables, but they actually are. This means an easy configuration would be to define in your application's properties file. For example, to get the sourceforge sample to work, create a file called "res/sf.properties". In the script, inside the hu-session tag, set application="sf". Then in sf.properties, set the variables like so:

enableHttpUnitProxy=true
httpUnitProxyHost=some.host.com
httpUnitProxyPort=your proxy port #

That should do the trick.

I don't know what to say about the Selenium script. I haven't tried that plug-in with a proxy server (it is actually a proxy server itself).

Thanks for the tip Christian.  Unfortunately it isn't working for me.  Hopefully the following information will help you to help me.

the httpunit-sourceforge.xml file hu-session tag has:
<httpunit-session application="sf" baseUrl="http://sourceforge.net" enableScripting="false" beginSession="true">

the res/sf.properties file in full is (with the hostname obfuscated):
enableHttpUnitProxy=true
httpUnitProxyHost=proxy.foo.company.com
httpUnitProxyPort=8080

The console reports:
Beginning Session: "net.sf.jameleon.plugin.htmlunit.HtmlUnitSessionTag"
Begin: starting application
Ending Session: "net.sf.jameleon.plugin.htmlunit.HtmlUnitSessionTag"

htmlunit-sourceforge FAILED
FunctionId: htmlunit-session
Line #: 8
Row #: 0
Error Message: Can not connect to 'http://sourceforge.net'.

And Velocity.log includes the following lines:
