URL connection through a proxy-based firewall

[Sharp]

Hi

I am trying to make a URL connection to a particular website through a
proxy-based firewall. But I am recieving a HTTP reponse code 407, which
suggest that I have an authenication problem. I have checked that my proxy
name, port, username and password is correct.

Code snippet
.....
System.setProperty("proxySet", "true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "XXX");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "XXX");
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", "XXX");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", "XXX");

URL url = new URL ("http://www.hotmail.com");
URLConnection connection = connection = url.openConnection();

also tried

System.setProperty("proxySet", "true");
System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "XXX");
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "XXX");

URL url = new URL ("http://www.hotmail.com");
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
String encodedPassword = Base64Coder.encode("usernameassword");
connection.setRequestProperty("Proxy-Authorization", encodedPassword);


Any help appreciated.


Regards
Sharp

I use this piece of code:

// sets system properties
setSystemProperty("http.agent", prop);
setSystemProperty("http.proxyHost", prop);
setSystemProperty("http.proxyPort", prop);
setSystemProperty("http.nonProxyHosts", prop);

Authenticator.setDefault(
new Authenticator()
{
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{
return (new PasswordAuthentication(user, pass.toCharArray()));
}
}
);
