RSS portlets (News, Weather) must allow proxy and HTTP authentication settings to be configured at runtime
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBPORTAL-1857
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1857
             Project: JBoss Portal
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 2.6.3 Final
         Environment: Debian, JBoss 4.2.1.GA
            Reporter: dpocock



The following parameters need to be configurable for the news and weather portlets:

- HTTP username for the RSS server
- HTTP password for the RSS server

- HTTP proxy hostname
- HTTP proxy port number

- HTTP proxy username
- HTTP proxy password

It should be possible to define these settings differently for every portlet instance in the portal.

A workaround exists for using a proxy, but it causes the same proxy settings to be used for all portlets.  The workaround: add the following to the JAVA_OPTS in $JBOSS_HOME/bin/run.conf:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.1.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttp.nonProxyHosts=192.168.1|localhost

There are more proxy options (HTTPS, FTP, etc) describe here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/proxies.html
