[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-569?page=comments#action_12340853 ] Tom Elrod commented on JBREM-569: ---------------------------------- Hi Tom, we have a setup, where a remoting client tries to access some EJB3 beans deployed JBoss. Since client is behind a firewall, we decided to use RMI-over-HTTP to access the server and we do it via an http proxy. So, we set system properties http.proxyHost and httpProxy.port like follows: http.proxyHost =www-proxy.domain.com http.proxyPort = 8080 and the real http address we want to access is: http://x.y.z.w:8888/SharedStateManager (real IP address is now shown here) We have discovered that proxy support works incorrectly in current implementation of remoting. Under ethereal, we have observed the following: POST http://www-proxy.domain.com:8080http://x.y.z.w:8888/SharedStateManager HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/octet-stream User-Agent: Java/1.5.0 Host: www-proxy.domain.com:8080 Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2 Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 1169 The problem is the first line. It is totally wrong. This is not the format expected by HTTP proxies. And this line is create by the new URL(...) call in the class HTTPClientInvoker arount his code: // now determin if going to use proxy or not if (proxyHost != null && proxyOn) { // is ok if port is -1 since URL constructor will use default port for protocol externalURL = new URL("http", proxyHost, proxyPort, url); // <---------------- This is WRONG!!! httpURLConn = (HttpURLConnection) externalURL.openConnection(); // since know it is a proxy being used, see if have proxy auth String proxyAuth = getProxyAuth(metadata); if (proxyAuth != null) { httpURLConn.setRequestProperty("Proxy-Authorization", proxyAuth); } } The bug is still present in the latest CVS version: http://fisheye.jboss.org/viewrep/JBoss/JBossRemoting/src/main/org/jboss/r... I don't know exactly, how to fix it, but may be something like following idea can help? 1) Remember current global proxy related properties 2) Change global proxy related properties (e.g. http.proxyHost, etc) to the required values 3) Let the HttpURLConnection create a connection/url using this properties 4) Restore global properties afterwards. Hope, you will fix this bug easily and pretty soon.

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-569?page=comments#action_12341932 ] Tom Elrod commented on JBREM-569: ---------------------------------- Have updated HTTPClientInvoker so can set proxy config in one of two ways. The first is to set the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort in the configuration map passed to client.invoke() (just as covered in documentation). However, doing this will only work if running JDK 1.5. Can also set http.proxyHost, http.proxyPort, and proxySet via System property settings (as covered in doc) and will work for JDK 1.4 or greater. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
