--- Comment #3 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> --- Java's Proxy configuration classes (mainly ProxyType, ProxySelector) don't support proxies that use TLS between the client and the proxy. Tomcat's proxy support for WebSocket opted to leverage Java's built-in proxy configuration classes rather than re-invent the wheel. A quick survey of the browsers and operating systems I have available didn't uncover any that allow direct configuration of proxying over TLS via the normal proxy configuration GUI. Those that do support it do so via a PAC file or command line arguments. I wonder if Java's lack of support for proxying over TLS is related. I couldn't find an enhancement request in the Java bug database for adding support for proxying over TLS. What is the use case for using proxying over TLS vs just using a direct TLS connection? If we do implement this (and it is still a big if at this stage in my view) would a custom user property such as "USE_SECURE_PROXY" be sufficient to meet the requirement? The idea being that you'd configure the http/https proxies as normal in Java and then, depending on this flag, Tomcat would connect to the proxy over a clear channel or TLS. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
