TwitterTemplate behind a proxy

[rob_shield]

Hi

I'm receiving java.net.ConnectException connection timed out errors when using TwitterTemplate in Tomcat 6 running behind a proxy.

I've set http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort as system settings and verified they are correct during runtime.

As I can't really access the restTemplate, is there anything else I could try to make it use the proxy?

Thanks in advance

update: still cannot get this to work.

Using Twitter4Jj as a replacement on same box with same settings works fine.

Anyone else had any proxy problems here (although it's an assumption really that it's proxy related I guess)??

I have the same issue. I'm unable to set the proxy settings for FacebookTemplate. I tried extending and overriding FacebookTemplate, RequestFactory, and other classes that only lead to confusion.

I thought why the heck am I doing all these just to set the proxy settings. So I deleted all the classes I did because it doesn't feel right.

Setting the proxy should be a simple configuration or at least easily accessible.

As I said in reply to another thread, there is currently no easy way to configure Spring Social to be used behind a proxy. But this should definitely be addressed. Therefore, I've created https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SOCIAL-146 to track this issue and will be working to resolve it.

Here is how I passed my &^%&*^%&% NTLM proxy with spring-social milestone 1:

public class FacebookTemplateExt extends FacebookTemplate
{
    public FacebookTemplateExt(String accessToken, boolean puseProxy, String pproxyUrl, int pproxyPort, String pproxyLogin, String pproxyPwd)
    {
        super(accessToken);

        if(puseProxy)
        {
            HttpClient httpclient = ((CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory) (((RestTemplate) restOperations).getRequestFactory()))
                    .getHttpClient();
    
            httpclient.getHostConfiguration().setProxy(pproxyUrl, pproxyPort);
    
            List<String> authPrefs = new ArrayList<String>(2);
            authPrefs.add(AuthPolicy.DIGEST);
            authPrefs.add(AuthPolicy.BASIC);
            // This will exclude the NTLM authentication scheme
            httpclient.getParams().setParameter(AuthPolicy.AUTH_SCHEME_PRIORITY, authPrefs);
            httpclient.getState().setProxyCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, new UsernamePasswordCredentials(pproxyLogin, pproxyPwd));
        }
    }

I will try to adapt to spring-social M3.
