password protected proxy

[Hal]

I can successfully access a web service, but now I need to access the web service through a password protected proxy. What/Where are the magic words I need to know?

Here is a start, configure SST to use the tunneling feature:

Code: Select all

SstHttpClient
                 initializeTransportScheme: 'httpsl'
                 forHttpsTunnelThrough: 'proxy.acme.com:80'
                 proxyAuth: nil

. . . then do a fetch:

Code: Select all

'https://www.foobar.com/secure/index.html' sstAsUrl fetch

A proxy authorization of nil means no password is required.

When you use a password protected proxy you need to pass credentials to your proxy.
Which credentials depend on the configuration of the proxy server.
We use basic credentials.

For Https you build a tunnel:

Code: Select all

SstHttpClient
         initializeTransportScheme: 'httpsl'
         forHttpsTunnelThrough: 'my.proxy.server'
         proxyAuth: ('Basic ' , (AbtBase64Coder current encode: 'network\userid:password')).

For Http you do:

Code: Select all

(SstTransport configurationRegistry at: 'httpl')
        proxyUrl: ('http://my.proxy.server') sstAsUrl;
        proxyCredentials: ('Basic ' , (AbtBase64Coder current encode: 'network\userid:password'));
        proxyExceptionList: #().

Does the solution you suggest force all http traffic to go through that proxy?
I only want to route certain web service calls through a special proxy (not all).

Hello,

Yes, it configures the http transport. To use your own scheme, use a different name:

Code: Select all

SstHttpClient
      initializeTransportScheme: 'local_https_tunnel'
      forHttpsTunnelThrough: 'proxy.acme.com:80'
      proxyAuth: nil


. . . and to use the local scheme, do:

Code: Select all

|client|
    (client := SstHttpClient forTransportScheme: 'local_https_tunnel') startUp.
    [client get: 'https://www.foobar.com/secure/index.html']
        ensure: [client shutDown]
