Access net behind proxy with username and password
May 24th, 2010, 10:25am  
Hi,
Having a bit of a headache with this one. I'm trying to access some images online but the place I'm doing it from has a proxy with username and passwords. I found this forum topic-
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb2/num_1233748146.html
Which has been very useful. I thought it might be a simple case of adding http.proxyUser and http.proxyPassword as well as the other settings however it's still not working.

Here's my code if it helps:

Quote:
//Import properties to setup proxy settings for college
import java.util.Properties;

int num=0;
PImage img;


void setup(){
  size(600,600);

//Setting up proxy settings for college  
  Properties systemSettings = System.getProperties();

  systemSettings.put("http.proxyHost", "my.proxy.example.com");
  systemSettings.put("http.proxyPort", "80");
  systemSettings.put("http.proxyUser", "myusername");
  systemSettings.put("http.proxyPassword", "mypassword");
  System.setProperties(systemSettings); 
  
  img=loadImage("http://");
}

void draw(){

  image(img,0,0);
}



Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have an exhibition very soon and I'm now panicking.

Tim

I found the Java Networking and Proxies article quite clear and relatively simple, maybe it can help you. Never tried it as I haven't had to go through a proxy yet.

Yep I had a read of that but I still couldn't get it working after setting it up. I'm running on linux if that makes any difference.
I'm going to try running this bit of code once I get into Uni tomorrow http://www.java-tips.org/java.net/how-to-detect-proxy-settings-for-internet-conn.... I'll see if it is actually trying the connection.
Even if I do get this code running is the setting up the proxy applicable to the loadStrings(URL HERE) function Would this act through the proxy

I think so, as behind the scene, Processing creates regular InputStreams on its loadXxx() functions.
