java socket and Proxy authentication
java, proxy
Solution
In your `Authenticator` implementation you can ask for the proxy the authentication is for using: `getRequestingHost()`.
Based on the value of `getRequestingHost()` you can return the `PasswordAuthentication` for that proxy.
Problem
I need a Java Socket client class that supports authenticated socks proxy, java.net.Proxy only supports one set of credentials for the whole JVM. I have multiple proxies each with different logins. here's what java's proxy Authenticator does, only one login for the whole JVM. how do I have multiple? ``` Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator(){ protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication(){ PasswordAuthentication p=new PasswordAuthentication("xxx", "xxx".toCharArray()); return p; } }); ```
