Support or drop proxy configuration #28

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Currently we display the proxy configuration on the connector settings page 
but we ignore it. I haven't seen an option to use proxies in the GData client 
though.

GData supports proxies:

That seems to be global configuration of java.net.URLConnection.

Yes, but that's a good thing IMO.

No, it's not. It's a global configuration so you mess with everybody using 
java.net.URLConnection. Therefore it shouldn't be set on  a per repository 
basis but 
on a global basis. Either by Eclipse or with a startup parameter.

In addition the configuration is severely limited compared to Commons 
HttpClient, 
for example you can't set a proxy only for certain hosts or exclude certain 
hosts 
from the configuration. In short all the disadvantages of 
java.net.URLConnection 
apply.
