Re: Customizing HttpClient 4.x with Axis 1.7

Axis Wsdl2Java code generator does need proxyHost and proxyPort e.g.


wsdl2java [options] -uri [url/path] where options=

--http-proxy-host <host> Proxy host address if you are behind a firewall
--http-proxy-port <port> Proxy port address if you are behind a firewall

command-line-args gets written by org.apache.axis2.wsdl.codegen.CodegenConfigLoader to system parameter(s):

 System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", commandLineOption.getOptionValue())
and/or
 System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", commandLineOption.getOptionValue())

Retries and proxy:  HttpClients.custom().setRetryHandler(), setProxy(). You can specify a limit on the number of retries, depending on your implementation of the handler.

Try checking HttpContext for some of the others.

Also, you might be able to disable chunked encoding via headers on the request.

With earlier versions of Axis that used Commons-Httpclient, much configuration was possible through setting options, but I notice on perusing the source, that many of the options we used to use are not available for use with HttpClient 4.x, I'm sure in part because HC does a lot of things differently.

Is the way to handle client customizations now to:

1. Extend HTTPSenderImpl and implement a getHttpClient which calls super() and then performs client customizations
2. Extend HTTPClient4TransportSender to provide the custom HTTPSenderImpl in createHTTPSender()

Specifically I need to:

* Disable chunked coding (formerly HTTPConstants.CHUNKED)
* Disable retries (formerly via HTTPConstants.HTTP_METHOD_PARAMS)
* Configure a custom SSL context to possibly allow self-signed SSL certificates (using our own TrustVerifier)  (formerly via HTTPConstants.CUSTOM_PROTOCOL_HANDLER)
* Use a custom Authenticator to support both NTLM and Basic
* Possibly configure a proxy server

We used to achieve all of these settings via setting options using HTTPConstants, but it looks like support only exists now for the Authenticator and Proxy server settings, unless things have moved or gotten implemented in a different way.

I'm not averse to extending HttpSenderImpl and HTTPClient4TransportSender, but if there's a bitter / more elegant way, I'd rather use it.

Any advice?
