Re: java client and ntlm proxy

Hi

Yes the socket is open directly, in fact stuff behind EOHTTPChannel (createSocket) doesn't take in account http.proxy* 
args cause finally use java.net.Socket and not java.net.URL, so Java Client can't connect to the application trough any 
HTTP proxy (NTML or not).
A solution could be to override  NSSocketUtilities.getSocketWithTimeout or to extend 
com.webobjects.eodistribution.client.EOHTTPChannel with a class having a methode createSocket which return a Socket.
We have got the same problem for Java Client connecting to the application using an https URL. A colleague make a POC 
with a class which extends EOHTTPChannel and use javax.net.ssl

ps : for command line launching
java -classpath "jar list" com.webobjects.eoapplication.client.EOClientApplicationSupport
-applicationURL http://host.domain.tld/cgi-bin/WebObjects/App.woa [other arguments]
(prefer a .jnlp file for deployment)
