How to set proxy host and port to validate recaptcha4j

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Followed the steps of implementation in this project home page.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
 Recaptcha response object has failed and the message is recaptcha not reachable.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using 0.0.8 version on Windows XP.

Please provide any additional information below.

Upon research i found that i need to set the proxy host and proxy port to the 
URL instance that is being created in SimpeHttpLoader. I need a way to pass 
these values to recaptcha api.

Seconded.

However, it looks like you can subclass simplehttploader as a workaround and 
use ReCaptchaImpl.setHttpLoader.

Hi,
Try this :
reCaptcha.setHttpLoader(new 
SimpleProxyHttpLoader(proxyHost,Integer.parseInt(proxyPort)));
        }

It will be easier to sub-class with the following change to SimpleHttpLoader

Proxy settings can be controlled with system properties as described here 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html.

We needed this (we need the proxy just for recaptcha, for the other urls we 
don't need it). I just created a class SimpleProxyHttpLoader as suggested by  
d.bo...@gmail.com , with almost the same code as SimpleHttpLoader, with the 
following modifications:

Create a proxy:
SocketAddress addr = new InetSocketAddress(this.proxyHost, this.proxyPort);
proxy = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, addr);

When opening the connection:
connection = url.openConnection(proxy);

Have you consider add the source of SimpleProxyHttpLoader to the project?
