How do I make HttpURLConnection use a proxy?

by

Since java 1.5 you can also pass a java.net.Proxy instance to the openConnection(proxy) method:

//Proxy instance, proxy ip = 10.0.0.1 with port 8080
Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("10.0.0.1", 8080));
conn = new URL(urlString).openConnection(proxy);

If your proxy requires authentication it will give you response 407.

In this case you’ll need the following code:

    Authenticator authenticator = new Authenticator() {

        public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
            return (new PasswordAuthentication("user",
                    "password".toCharArray()));
        }
    };
    Authenticator.setDefault(authenticator);
