[jetty-users] Jetty websocket client through proxy server

[Mike Weadley <mikeweadley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am using the Jetty 8 websocket client libraries in a standalone Java program (so my client is not a browser).  I am unable to connect to the remote websocket server when running on my corporate network (which uses proxy servers).  I have tried configuring Java system properties for the proxy server:

-Dhttp.proxyHost="proxy" -Dhttp.proxyPort="8080" -Dhttps.proxyHost="proxy" -Dhttps.proxyPort="8080"

to no avail.  The WebSocketClient open method called from my code is hitting this exception:

java.nio.channels.UnresolvedAddressException

at sun.nio.ch.Net.checkAddress(Unknown Source)

at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.connect(Unknown Source)

at org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.WebSocketClient.open(WebSocketClient.java:349)

at org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.WebSocketClient.open(WebSocketClient.java:308)

...

Does the Jetty 8 websocket client support negotiating wss connections through proxy servers?  If yes, how is this configured in my client application?   

Does Jetty 9 support websocket client connections through proxy servers?
