java.lang.NullPointerException: flowPublisher in HttpClientZioBackend when proxy requires authentication

[aleksandr-vin]

If proxy requires authentication (replies with 407 status), then NPE arises.

The stack trace:

For:

val httpClient = HttpClient
      .newBuilder()
      .followRedirects(HttpClient.Redirect.NEVER)
      .connectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(timeout.toSeconds))
      .proxy(ProxySelector.of(new InetSocketAddress(proxyConfig.host, proxyConfig.port)))
      .build()

val backend = HttpClientZioBackend.usingClient(httpClient)
...
response <- backend.send(request.response(asJsonAlways[A]))

Same if proxy configured following the example https://sttp.softwaremill.com/en/latest/conf/proxy.html?highlight=proxy:

SttpBackendOptions.httpProxy(proxyConfig.host, proxyConfig.port)

Any updates on this?

+1 Proxy auth doesn't work on sttp3 (3.8.16) & sttp4 (v4.0.0-M2). It seems somehow related to the next comment: https://github.com/softwaremill/sttp/blob/fbc6f7e6ae222471fbae65c043bf6e15de74e84f/core/src/main/scalajvm/sttp/client4/httpclient/HttpClientBackend.scala#L128-L132

Adding

-Djdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes=""
-Djdk.http.auth.proxying.disabledSchemes=""

to your JVM OPTS should work. At least it did for me (using Cats+HttpClient)
