Hi,

props.setProperty(“http.proxyHost”, “proxy.ssn.net”);
props.setProperty(“http.proxyPort”, “8080″);
props.setProperty( “mail.imap.socketFactory.class”, SSL_FACTORY);
props.setProperty( “mail.imap.socketFactory.fallback”, “false”);
props.setProperty( “mail.imap.port”, “993″);
props.setProperty( “mail.imap.socketFactory.port”, “993″);
props.put(“mail.imap.host”, “imap.gmail.com”);
Session session =
Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
store = session.getStore(“imap”);
store.connect(dialog.getServer(),dialog.getUsername(),dialog.getPassword());

I could connect to gmail server without proxy setting. but when i set the proxy setting in college i couldn’t connect.

If we are working from home, we may not need the proxy but yes if we are at work, most of us would definitely need to configure the proxy for anything to do with an url.

Hi,

You may be interested in this database of open source HTTP proxies written in Java.

There’s also a list of open source HTTP proxies written in python.

# System.getProperties().put(\"http.proxyUser\", \"someUserName\");
# System.getProperties().put(\"http.proxyPassword\", \"somePassword\");

These properties do not exist in the JDK. Are you thinking of some 3rd-party package?
