Proxy settings are not used

[agoston]

In 0.2.1-SNAPSHOT, you've moved the proxy config to maven. Since then, proxy support is broken:

• existing proxyHost and proxyPort from pom.xml is ignored;
• ~/.m2/settings.xml is ignored even if it's configured properly, e.g. even with the below config:

<settings>
<proxies>
        <proxy>
        <id>egy</id>
            <active>true</active>
            <protocol>https</protocol>
            <host>does.not.exist</host>
            <port>3128</port>
        </proxy>
        <proxy>
            <active>true</active>
            <protocol>http</protocol>
            <host>does.not.exist</host>
            <port>3128</port>
        </proxy>
    </proxies>
</settings>

it just goes on and download. Also with valid hostnames, but it is still not using them.

Thanks for raising this. What Maven version are you using?

I see also that I managed to leave the proxyHost/proxyPort/proxyUser/proxyPassword config properties present. This wasn't intentional - I've now removed these to avoid confusion.

This is caused by a change in the way Java 8 creates connections and selects a proxy when using URLConnection. The plugin is correctly installing a ProxySelector that will return the proxy as configured in your Maven settings, however the URI being proxied (in Java 8) is now socket://fastdl.mongodb.org:80 instead of http://fastdl.mongodb.org and the HTTP proxy returned by our custom ProxySelector is not used.

Thankfully the flapdoodle embedprocess API now supports proxying in its own API, so we no longer have to install a ProxySelector to achieve what we need here. I've switched the proxy logic over to setup an embedprocess IProxyFactory instead, and this is working well again.

Thanks again for reporting this, I'll release this ASAP!

Thanks!
