static String HTTPS_PROXY_TYPE
          Type constant (value "HTTPS") which identifies an HTTPS proxy.

static String SOCKS_PROXY_TYPE
          Type constant (value "SOCKS") which identifies an SOCKS proxy.

Method Summary

void disable ()
          Set the values of this data to represent a disabling of its type.

String getHost ()
          Return the host name for the proxy server or null if a proxy server of this type is not available.

String getPassword ()
          Return the password that should be used when authenticating for the proxy.

int getPort ()
          Return the port that should be used when connecting to the host or -1 if the default port for the proxy protocol should be used.

String getType ()
          Return the type of this proxy.

String getUserId ()
          Return the id of the user that should be used when authenticating for the proxy.

boolean isRequiresAuthentication ()
          Returns whether the proxy requires authentication.

void setHost ( String host)
          Set the host name for the proxy server of this type.

void setPassword ( String password)
          Set the password that should be used when authenticating for the proxy.

void setPort (int port)

Field Detail

HTTP_PROXY_TYPE

static final 
String HTTP_PROXY_TYPE

Type constant (value "HTTP") which identifies an HTTP proxy.

See Also:: getType(), Constant Field Values

HTTPS_PROXY_TYPE

static final 
String HTTPS_PROXY_TYPE

Type constant (value "HTTPS") which identifies an HTTPS proxy.

See Also:: getType(), Constant Field Values

SOCKS_PROXY_TYPE

static final 
String SOCKS_PROXY_TYPE

Type constant (value "SOCKS") which identifies an SOCKS proxy.

See Also:: getType(), Constant Field Values

Method Detail

getType


String getType()

Return the type of this proxy. Additional proxy types may be added in the future so clients should accommodate this.

Returns:: the type of this proxy
See Also:: HTTP_PROXY_TYPE, HTTPS_PROXY_TYPE, SOCKS_PROXY_TYPE

getHost


String getHost()

Return the host name for the proxy server or null if a proxy server of this type is not available.

Returns:: the host name for the proxy server or null

setHost

void setHost(
String host)

Set the host name for the proxy server of this type. If no proxy server of this type is available, the host name should be set to null.

Setting this value will not affect the data returned from IProxyService.getProxyData(). Clients can change the global settings by changing the proxy data instances and then by calling IProxyService.setProxyData(IProxyData[]) with the adjusted data.

Parameters:: host - the host name for the proxy server or null

getPort

int getPort()

Return the port that should be used when connecting to the host or -1 if the default port for the proxy protocol should be used.

Returns:: the port that should be used when connecting to the host

setPort

void setPort(int port)

Set the port that should be used when connecting to the host. Setting the port to a value of -1 will indicate that the default port number for the proxy type should be used.

Parameters:: port - the port that should be used when connecting to the host or -1 if the default port is to be used

getUserId


String getUserId()

Return the id of the user that should be used when authenticating for the proxy. A null is returned if there is no authentication information.

Returns:: the id of the user that should be used when authenticating for the proxy or null

setUserid

void setUserid(
String userid)

Set the id of the user that should be used when authenticating for the proxy. A null should be used if there is no authentication information.

Parameters:: userid - the id of the user that should be used when authenticating for the proxy or null

getPassword


String getPassword()

Return the password that should be used when authenticating for the proxy. A null is returned if there is no password or the password is not known.

Returns:: the password that should be used when authenticating for the proxy or null

setPassword

void setPassword(
String password)

Set the password that should be used when authenticating for the proxy. A null should be passed if there is no password or the password is not known.

Parameters:: password - the password that should be used when authenticating for the proxy or null

isRequiresAuthentication

boolean isRequiresAuthentication()

Returns whether the proxy requires authentication. If the proxy requires authentication but the user name and password fields of this proxy data are null, the client can expect the connection to fail unless they somehow obtain the authentication information.

Returns:: whether the proxy requires authentication

disable

void disable()

Set the values of this data to represent a disabling of its type. Note that the proxy type will not be disabled unless the client calls IProxyService.setProxyData(IProxyData[]) with the disabled data as a parameter. A proxy data can be enabled by setting the host.
