This page is being used to capture the requirements for Platform level proxy support (bug 154100)
CVS Requirements
The CVS/Core and CVS/SSH2 use the proxies provided by the Jsch plug-in to make proxy connections. Currently, there is support for two types of proxies: HTTP and SOCKS5. We would require API that allowed us to do something like this:
ProxyInfo[] infos = ProxyInfo.getProxiesFor(String hostName);
ProxyInfo info = getSupportProxy(infos); // method would look for the HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy
if (info == null) {
// Attempt a direct connection.
// If the connection failed and there were proxies specified, let the user know that
// we only support HTTP and SOCKS4
} else if (info.getType() == ProxyInfo.HTTP) {
// Use host, port, username and password to create an HTTP proxy using Jsch
} else if (info.getType() == Proxy.SOCKS5) {
// Use host, port, username and password to create a SOCKS5 proxy using Jsch
}
The API we would require is that ability to retrieve the set of proxies that are available for a particular host. This doesn't imply that we need to support the specification of different proxies for each hist but I think it is good to leave room in the API to support this later.
