Problems with nonProxyHosts

Hello, I use a tomcat 4.1.30 and have 2 applications on it which do calls
to URLs to retrieve data.

the first one needs a proxy server because it retrieves data from an outside link.
So I added code to the Catalina.bat:
set JAVA_OPTS=-Dhttps.proxyHost=any-IP-Address -Dhttps.proxyPort=6666 -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\jre\lib\security\cacerts

which works!

But the second application doesn't need the proxy, so I tried to handle this by adding

-Dhttps.nonProxyHosts=the-other-host

but this doesn't help!

There ist always the error
java.io.IOException: Unable to tunnel through proxy. Proxy returns "HTTP/1.0 405 Method not allowed"

If I remove the entry in Catalina.bat completely, the second application works, but the first of course not. And the other way around.

Any ideas why this doesn't work? The calls are using https.

thanks

Hans,
We also have a forum for Sockets and Internet Protocols.
I'm starting to wonder if this question would do better there.

Let me know if you want me to move it there (a closed copy will remain in this forum).

Hello, I'm not sure whether this is a problem of Tomcat configuration
or protocols, but maybe you are right, so if a copy stays here...

thanks
