#1035 Proxy authentication does not work

[Christian]

I am behind a proxy that requires authentication. I've filled in all the details in the configuration and they were properly written to the config file. However, there is no authentication sent to the proxy. What I see on my NIC is just

CONNECT signin.ebay.com:443 HTTP/1.1

User-Agent: Java/1.5.0_10

Host: signin.ebay.com

Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2

The line "Proxy-Authorization:" is missing. Besides I am surprised that it tries "CONNECT" because this is not supported by many proxies. I can make connections to 443, anyway, which is why I did not set up a proxy for HTTPS. Why does it still do this? Does it fall back to GET if CONNECT doesn't work?

I have the same problem and the same diagnostic

Greetings,
I'm using Java's built-in proxy handling.

CONNECT is how proxies handle HTTPS.

As for why it's being used for HTTPS if you don't have the checkbox in the Firewall tab of the Configuration Manager set, that I can't help you with. The code is very specific about that. Try clearing out all the fields (host, port, and the checkbox), saving, and restarting JBidwatcher.

Best of luck with your auctions!

I tried what you suggested and cleared out the settings and tried again. I still see no Proxy-Authorization string and therefore the proxy server rejects my request.

I actually misunderstood the configuration window a bit, anyway, because I thought that the proxy should only be used for HTTP but not HTTPS. Therefore I was a bit surprised to see anything sent to the proxy for a HTTPS request, too. Anyway, I have a setup where I have to use a proxy for HTTP but not HTTPS. Would it be possible to split up the proxy stuff into HTTP and HTTPS so that you could only do HTTP with GET instead of doing both with CONNECT for HTTPS? That would be helpful for many networks, I reckon.

Greetings,
Bugs filed after 1.0 and with submitters are being juggled in terms of priority (9 is highest priority). I'm raising bugs filed with a submitter, post-1.0 to P6.

For everything else, bugs which are filed post-1.0, but without a submitter remain P5. Before 1.0 bugs with a submitter are becoming P4, and pre-1.0 bugs without a submitter name become P3.

Thanks for your patience, while I try to pare back the bug list to what may actually still be in the program. I may also start to close bugs which are referring to the same issue, leaving either the oldest, or the one with the most activity.
