Hi Arun:
I just jioned this interest group, and I read the correspondence between you and Brian which is of importance to me.
I need to implement a web service client that can reach out to a web service that's outside company firewall. So this client needs to go through the firewall proxy which requires user name and password authentication.
What I need to know is that using this basic authentication by setting the two properties "http.auth.username" and "http.auth.password" , together with setting two system properties "HTTPProxyHost" "HTTPProxyPort", I can accomplish the goal of tunneling through the firewall?
Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
