Kodeordsgodkendelse på proxy

Hej!

Tillad mig at lave et spørgsmål på engelsk, da jeg genbruger det fra nyhedsgruppen comp.lang.java.security, hvor der ikke ser ud til at være så megen aktivitet som i dette herlige forum ;-)

Jeg håber ikke jeg overtræder reglen om kun at oprette spørgsmål een gang...

Hi!

In the applet I am developing I have had problems with the authentication
through proxy and firewalls.

However, now I have seen a few examples as follows:

System.setProperty(\"http.proxySet\", \"true\");
System.setProperty(\"http.proxyHost\", \"my.firewall.name\");
System.setProperty(\"http.proxyPort\", \"80\");

String authString = \"myProxyID:myProxyPassword\";
authString = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(authString.getBytes());
conn.setRequestProperty(\"Proxy-Authorization\", \"Basic \" +
authString);



I have three questions:

Q1:
In the System.setProperty examples I assume that only \"my.firewall.name\" is
pseudo. All the other parameters I suppose are the way I must put them?

Q2:
Can my.firewall.name be a label as well as an IP?

Q3:
In the applet I do not know the proxypassword. If I leave out the code
regarding the password will the browser put up a password dialog for me?
- or do I really have to prompt the user from the applet to get the
password?
