Connection through HTTP proxy

Does smack support connections through HTTP proxies?

I did not find anyway of doing it by looking at the documentation.

No, Smack does not support connecting through an HTTP proxy at this time.

Are you planning on supporting connections through HTTP proxies?

mbutu,

Not anytime soon. However, someone could write a servlet that acted as the proxy (using Smack as the backend)without a ton of work. Perhaps you could consider that as an option?

Could you describe the servlet solution in more detail.

I would like to connect like this:

smack->proxy->|firewall|->jabber.org

Would the servlet solution look like this:

smack->servlet->proxy->|firewall|->jabber.org

That is not really an option.

No, the servlet solution would probably look more like:

Basically, you’'d use a non-Smack API on the client, sending HTTP requests to the servlet, which in turn passes them onto Jabber (via Smack or some other API).
