HTTP Proxy Property

By default, a new RHTTPSession is set to make direct connections to an origin server. To switch it to use a proxy, the following two properties must be set: HTTP::EProxyUsage and HTTP::EProxyAddress.

• HTTP::EProxyUsage can take the values HTTP::EDoNotUseProxy (the default) or HTTP::EUseProxy.

• HTTP::EProxyAddress must be set using an RStringF value that contains the proxy address as an IP Address and port number separated by a colon, for example, "10.158.7.4:9003".

void CHttpClient::SetProxyL(RStringF aProxyAddr)
    {
    RHTTPConnectionInfo connInfo = iSess.ConnectionInfo();
    THTTPHdrVal proxyUsage(iSess.StringPool().StringF(HTTP::EUseProxy,RHTTPSession::GetTable()));
    connInfo.SetPropertyL(iSess.StringPool().StringF(HTTP::EProxyUsage,RHTTPSession::GetTable()), proxyUsage);

    THTTPHdrVal proxyAddr(aProxyAddr);
    connInfo.SetPropertyL(iSess.StringPool().StringF(HTTP::EProxyAddress,RHTTPSession::GetTable()), aProxyAddr);

    Printf(_L("Proxy set to:%S\n\n"), &iProxyName);
    }

Changes made to the proxy settings will affect only new transactions opened on the session, and not any currently in progress.
