java automatic proxy configuration

Question

I have written an application in jsoup that needs to connect through company proxy. I have tried giving the auto proxy config url in the java settings in control panel(XP) but it still times out the connection. What else do I need to do

Answer 1

Proxy settings in Java Control Panel affect only Java Web Start applications and applets.

For regular Java applications, you should use the following properties to configure proxy:

• http.proxyHost , http.proxyPort , and http.nonProxyHosts .
• https.proxyHost , https.proxyPort (HTTPS handler uses http.nonProxyHosts ).
• ftp.proxyHost , ftp.proxyPort , and ftp.nonProxyHosts .

See Networking Properties for more details on configuring behavior of the various classes of the java.net package.

There's no built-in way to use automatic proxy configuration for regular Java applications. See answers to this question for various options to do it.

Answer 2

You must set the java environment proxy settings.
