Description

Use the SoapConnection object's SetProxyServerOptions function to set the proxy address, user name, and password for the proxy server when it requires authentication. The user ID and password you can supply with the SetOptions function apply to the URL of the service, not the proxy server.

Usage

The syntax is:

conn.SetProxyServerOptions (string optionstring)

where conn is the name of the SoapConnection object, and optionstring is a string containing comma-separated name/value pairs. The format is:

"address='proxy_endpoint'{, userID='name', password='password' }"

You can also specify a user ID and password for the proxy server by setting the http_proxy environment variable. The syntax is:

set http_proxy = “{protocol://}{userID{:password}@}host{:port}{/path}”

For JSP Web services, you specify a user ID and password by setting Java system properties before calling the service:

System.setProperty( "proxySet", "true" );
System.setProperty( "http.proxyHost", "host" );
System.setProperty( "http.proxyPort", "port" );
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", "userID");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", "password");

Example

This example specifies a user name and password, as well as the proxy endpoint:

long ll_return
string ls_string
ls_string = "address='http://Srvr:8080/endpnt',"
 ls_string += "userID='MyName', password='mypass'"
 ll_return = Conn.SetProxyServerOptions (ls_string)
