Re: Use of http proxy?

Bummer. Found the real exception and the source - DODS libraries are using the commons http client, which requires explicit proxy setting at an application level (ie proxies must be a supported feature of DAP). But even when skirting DNS availability using hosts file, we go from this,

Looking at the source below, it would indeed seem DAP does not support proxies. This is hard to believe - it's more effective than any EULA for curtailing commercial use. I'll take my grumbles to the DAP group I guess... :(

opendap.dap.DConnect2.java:

private void openConnection(String urlString, Command command) throws IOException, DAP2Exception, ParseException {

   initHttpClient();
   GetMethod method = new GetMethod(urlString);
   method.setFollowRedirects(true);

   if (acceptCompress)
method.setRequestHeader(new Header("Accept-Encoding", "deflate,gzip"));

   // enable sessions
   if (allowSessions)
     method.setRequestHeader(new Header("X-Accept-Session", "true"));

   InputStream is = null;
   try {
     // Execute the method.

     int statusCode = _httpClient.executeMethod(method);
     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

IDV seems to be having trouble with our http proxy (squid). I've set the following global parameters in runIDV.bat in the usual way;

-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxyhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128

however IDV fails to retrieve any data in the Data Chooser. See traceback below. Could it have something to do with IDV insisting DODS URI's begin with dods:// perhaps? What is the recommended solution for using a http proxy?

By the way, I can navigate the server in the "Display" / web browsing tab. It's only the Data Chooser that fails.

Thanks, Nick

And another example from your own servers...
