B4J Question [RESOLVED] setting http proxy

[FabioRome]

Hello everyone,
I have a proxy

I declare the following variables:

Dim ProxyHost As String
Dim ProxyPort As Int
Dim ProxyUsername As String
Dim ProxyPassword As String

and execute the following instructions:

SetSystemProperty("http.proxyHost", ProxyHost )
SetSystemProperty("http.proxyPort", ProxyPort )
SetSystemProperty("http.proxyUser", ProxyUsername )
SetSystemProperty("http.proxyPassword", ProxyPassword )

but i get this error:

Program started.
java.net.UnknownHostException: name_external_site
at java.net.Inet6AddressImpl.lookupAllHostAddr(Native Method)
at java.net.InetAddress$1.lookupAllHostAddr(InetAddress.java:901)
at java.net.InetAddress.getAddressesFromNameService(InetAddress.java:1293)
at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName0(InetAddress.java:1246)
at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.java:1162)
at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.java:1098)

I tried to replace the name of the proxy with its IP address but does not change anything:
do you have any suggestions?
Thank you.

I replied to your question over here, https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/using-httputils2-behind-a-proxy.43945/
but also had another thought.
Did you try the domain name only without the www example "google.com"?
Did you try to ping the name from that computer to see if it resolves anything?

 

[FabioRome]

console: ping google.com (no www)
"host not found"

 

[giga]

This sounds like the problem.
result should be: google.com should resolve to an IP
Pinging google.com [216.58.218.206] with 32 bytes of data:

If you are using an IP try to ping it and see if it works.

 

[FabioRome]

sorry for my english.

PC always uses a proxy so if I do I always get a PING "host not found" but if I go to use the internet browser.

I would be enough to also use the proxy system default but I have the same problem:

SetSystemProperty("java.net.useSystemProxies", "True")

with programs written in object-pascal I have no problems with the proxy

Thank you

 

[FabioRome]

UPDATE

java -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy_ip -Dhttp.proxyPassword=proxy_pwd -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttp.proxyUserName=proxy_user  my_file_name.jar

or

java -jar -Djava.net.useSystemProxies=true my_file_name.jar

same mistake

 

[Erel]

Can you post the code that raises this exception?

 

[FabioRome]

Private Sub leggi_file_impostazioni_proxy (myProxy As Boolean)

   If myProxy = False Then
     SetSystemProperty("http.proxyHost", "" )
     SetSystemProperty("http.proxyPort", "" )
     SetSystemProperty("http.proxyUser", "" )
     SetSystemProperty("http.proxyPassword", "" )

   Else
     SetSystemProperty("http.proxyHost", "proxy_name" )
     SetSystemProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080" )
     SetSystemProperty("http.proxyUser", "my_username" )
     SetSystemProperty("http.proxyPassword", "my_password" )
   End If
  
End Sub

 

[Erel]

This code by itself will not cause any error. Where is the code that makes the network call?

 

[FabioRome]

hi Erel,
in attachment you have my example complete.
the file INI is blank:

[PROXY]
ProxyHost=xxxx
ProxyPort=8080
ProxySchema=http
ProxyUsername=xxxx
ProxyPassword=xxxx

[DATABASE]
DatabaseHost=localhost
DatabaseName=xxxxx
DatabaseUsername=xxxx
DatabasePassword=xxxx

you have also php file ponte_stetreCHuf_sTeb44ruC-copia.php

Thank you very much
Regards
Fabio

Use HttpUtils2 source code and modify HttpUtils2Service. Set the proxy with hc.SetProxy (or hc.SetProxy2).

 

[FabioRome]

thank you very much

 

[FabioRome]

modify HttpUtils2Service.bas

Public Sub SubmitJob(job As HttpJob) As Int
    '** Modifica
    If Main.ProxyHost <> Null AND Main.ProxyPort <> 0 Then
        If Main.ProxyUsername <> Null AND Main.ProxyPassword <> Null Then
            hc.SetProxy2(Main.ProxyHost, Main.ProxyPort, Main.ProxyScheme, Main.ProxyUsername, Main.ProxyPassword)
        Else
            hc.SetProxy(Main.ProxyHost, Main.ProxyPort, Main.ProxyScheme)
        End If
    End If
    '** Fine Modifica
   
    taskCounter = taskCounter + 1
    TaskIdToJob.Put(taskCounter, job)
    If job.Username <> "" AND job.Password <> "" Then
        hc.ExecuteCredentials(job.GetRequest, taskCounter, job.Username, job.Password)
    Else
        hc.Execute(job.GetRequest, taskCounter)
    End If
    Return taskCounter
End Sub

Hi @Erel ,
i replaced JHttpUtils2 with JOKHttpUtils and JHttp with JOKHttp.
how can I put the proxy in Jokhttp ?

Thank you

 

[Erel]

You can use this code to set a proxy with OkHttp:

Sub SetProxy (hc As OkHttpClient, Host As String, Port As Int)
   Dim jo As JavaObject = hc
   Dim proxy, socketAddress As JavaObject
   socketAddress.InitializeNewInstance("java.net.InetSocketAddress", Array (Host, Port))
   proxy.InitializeNewInstance("java.net.Proxy", Array ("HTTP", socketAddress))
   jo.GetFieldJO("client").RunMethod("setProxy", Array(proxy))
End Sub

   proxy.InitializeNewInstance("java.net.Proxy", Array ("HTTP", socketAddress))

End Sub

thank you Erel, and for setting also username e password? thank you so much

 

[Erel]

It is currently not possible to set username and password for the proxy.

 

[FabioRome]

It is currently not possible to set username and password for the proxy.

thanks anyway

I know it's an old thread, but this wasn't solved properly it seems.

It's missing the "https" proxy:

SetSystemProperty("http.proxyHost", ProxyHost )
SetSystemProperty("https.proxyHost", ProxyHost )
SetSystemProperty("http.proxyPort", ProxyPort )
SetSystemProperty("https.proxyPort", ProxyPort )

That works for me, both for Webview and HttpJobs.

[edit] I guess it's the same for the userName and password
