Wireless Toolkit and proxy

[Kris Reid]

I posted this in the SCMAD forum but realised this is a better place
https://coderanch.com/t/157366/po/certification/Wireless-Tool-Kt-Proxy

I'm trying to make a http connection but I can't get past the proxy server.
In the config it has a place to enter the location of the server but not the usename & pass

How can I get the emulator to work with the proxy?

Thanks

What is on the proxy server. Is this the Web Server?

At work we connect to a procxy server to access the internet.

I am writing a midlet to connect to a website and download content but the proxy doesn't let the midlet through. It needs the username & pass but the WWTK has no where for you to enter a username & pass.

Any ideas?

Has anyone had this problem before?
Someone must have worked with a proxy

Well, I'll say this, on the real device, you won't have a proxy, so your test while just checking isn't good testing.

What about using another machine that is outside the proxy. Or create a local Web Server and host the site locally for testing.

Or create a local Web Server and host the site locally for testing.

This would also be, what I would recommend. Tomcat is very easy to get up
and running - the same applies for IIS.

I have set up a local web server for basic testing.
but the website I need to connect to requires heaps of dynamic content that will take far to long to emulate on a local machine.

Thanks any how

Well if you are doing this right now for testing, then on your local machine you can make MockObjects to emulate the heaps of dynamic data.

But if you need this environment to work in production, then the System Administrator will need to create a public interface to allow your connections.
