Eclipse Platform
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.core.net.proxy
Interface IProxyService


public interface IProxyService

Manages the proxy data and related information. The proxy service is registered as an OSGi service. Clients can obtain an instance of the service from their bundle context or from a service tracker.

Clients that wish to make a connection and need to determine whether to use a proxy or not should call either getProxyDataForHost(String) or getProxyDataForHost(String, String).

Since:
1.0
Restriction:
This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Method Summary
 void addProxyChangeListener ( IProxyChangeListener listener)
          Registers a listener that will be notified when proxy related information changes.
  String[] getNonProxiedHosts ()
          Returns the list of hosts for which non proxy should be used.
  IProxyData[] getProxyData ()
          Returns the list of know proxy types and their settings.
  IProxyData getProxyData ( String type)
          Returns the proxy data for the proxy of the given type or null if the proxy type is not known by this service.
  IProxyData[] getProxyDataForHost ( String host)
          Deprecated. This method is deprecated because of its ambiguity. Use select(URI) instead.
  IProxyData getProxyDataForHost ( String host, String type)
          Deprecated. This method is deprecated because of its ambiguity. Use select(URI) instead.
 boolean hasSystemProxies ()
          Returns whether system proxy support is available.
 boolean isProxiesEnabled ()
          Returns whether proxy support should be enabled.
 boolean isSystemProxiesEnabled ()
          Returns whether system proxy should be used when the proxy support is enabled.
 void removeProxyChangeListener ( IProxyChangeListener listener)
          Removes a listener.
  IProxyData[] select ( URI uri)
          Returns all the applicable proxy data to access the specified URI.
 void setNonProxiedHosts ( String[] hosts)
          Sets the list of hosts for which non proxy should be used.
 void setProxiesEnabled (boolean enabled)
          Sets whether proxy support should be enabled.
 void setProxyData ( IProxyData[] proxies)
          Sets the information associated with known proxy types.
 void setSystemProxiesEnabled (boolean enabled)
          Sets whether system proxies should be used, when the proxy support is enabled.
 

Method Detail

setProxiesEnabled

void setProxiesEnabled(boolean enabled)
Sets whether proxy support should be enabled. The current proxy settings are still kept so clients should check the enablement using isProxiesEnabled() before calling the getProxyData() or getProxyData(String) method. However, the getProxyDataForHost(String) and getProxyDataForHost(String, String) method will check the enablement and only return data if the service is enabled.

Parameters:
enabled - whether proxy support should be enabled

isProxiesEnabled

boolean isProxiesEnabled()
Returns whether proxy support should be enabled. When disabled, all connections will be direct.

Returns false, when the system proxies support is enabled but hasSystemProxies() returns false.

Returns:
whether proxy support should be enabled

hasSystemProxies

boolean hasSystemProxies()
Returns whether system proxy support is available.

Returns:
whether system proxy support is available
Since:
1.1

setSystemProxiesEnabled

void setSystemProxiesEnabled(boolean enabled)
Sets whether system proxies should be used, when the proxy support is enabled.

Parameters:
enabled -
Since:
1.1

isSystemProxiesEnabled

boolean isSystemProxiesEnabled()
Returns whether system proxy should be used when the proxy support is enabled.

Returns:
whether system proxy is used when the proxy support is enabled
Since:
1.1

getProxyData


IProxyData[] getProxyData()
Returns the list of know proxy types and their settings. Some of the returned proxy types may not be enabled (i.e, their hosts may be null.

Clients that wish to make a connection and need to determine whether to use a proxy or not should call either getProxyDataForHost(String) or getProxyDataForHost(String, String).

This method returns the proxies set via setProxyData(IProxyData[])

Returns:
the list of know proxy types and their settings

select


IProxyData[] select(
URI uri)
Returns all the applicable proxy data to access the specified URI.

Clients that wish to make a connection and need to determine whether to use a proxy should use this method.

Parameters:
uri - the URI for which proxies are returned
Returns:
list of all applicable proxy data, if no proxy is applicable then an empty array is returned
Since:
1.2

getProxyDataForHost


IProxyData[] getProxyDataForHost(
String host)
Deprecated. This method is deprecated because of its ambiguity. Use select(URI) instead.

Returns the list of known proxy types and their settings for the given host. If proxies are disabled or if the host matches any entries in the non-proxied hosts lists or if a matching proxy type has no data, then an empty array is returned.

Clients that wish to make a connection and need to determine whether to use a proxy should use this method.

Parameters:
host - the host for which a connection is desired
Returns:
the list of known proxy types and their settings for the given host

getProxyData


IProxyData getProxyData(
String type)
Returns the proxy data for the proxy of the given type or null if the proxy type is not known by this service.

Clients that wish to make a connection and need to determine whether to use a proxy or not should call either getProxyDataForHost(String) or getProxyDataForHost(String, String).

This method returns the proxies set via setProxyData(IProxyData[])

Parameters:
type - the proxy type
Returns:
the proxy data for the proxy of the given type or null
See Also:
IProxyData.HTTP_PROXY_TYPE, IProxyData.HTTPS_PROXY_TYPE, IProxyData.SOCKS_PROXY_TYPE

getProxyDataForHost


IProxyData getProxyDataForHost(
String host,
                               
String type)
Deprecated. This method is deprecated because of its ambiguity. Use select(URI) instead.

Returns the proxy data for the proxy of the given type or null if the proxy type is not known by this service, the proxy data is empty for that type or the host is in the non-proxied host list.

Clients that wish to make a connection and need to determine whether to use a proxy should use this method.

Parameters:
host - the host for which a connection is desired
type - the proxy type
Returns:
the proxy data for the proxy of the given type or null
See Also:
IProxyData.HTTP_PROXY_TYPE, IProxyData.HTTPS_PROXY_TYPE, IProxyData.SOCKS_PROXY_TYPE

setProxyData

void setProxyData(
IProxyData[] proxies)
                  throws 
CoreException
Sets the information associated with known proxy types. If an unknown type is provided, it will be ignored. Any known types that are not present in the list of the provided proxy data will be unaffected.

This method affects only proxies defined in Eclipse by user and doesn't affect settings of the system proxies (being used when the system support is enabled).

Parameters:
proxies - the proxy data whose information is to be set.
Throws:
CoreException - if the proxy could not be set

getNonProxiedHosts


String[] getNonProxiedHosts()
Returns the list of hosts for which non proxy should be used. The values returned from this method should only be used for displaying the non-proxed hosts list.

Clients that wish to make a connection and need to determine whether to use a proxy or not should call either getProxyDataForHost(String) or getProxyDataForHost(String, String).

This method returns the hosts set via setNonProxiedHosts(String[])

Returns:
the list of hosts for which non proxy should be used.
See Also:
getProxyDataForHost(String), getProxyDataForHost(String, String)

setNonProxiedHosts

void setNonProxiedHosts(
String[] hosts)
                        throws 
CoreException
Sets the list of hosts for which non proxy should be used.

This method affects only non-proxied hosts defined in Eclipse by user and doesn't affect settings of the system proxies (being used when the system support is enabled).

Parameters:
hosts - the list of hosts for which non proxy should be used
Throws:
CoreException - if the non-proxied host list could not be set

addProxyChangeListener

void addProxyChangeListener(
IProxyChangeListener listener)
Registers a listener that will be notified when proxy related information changes. Adding a listener that is already registered has no effect.

Parameters:
listener - a change listener

removeProxyChangeListener

void removeProxyChangeListener(
IProxyChangeListener listener)
Removes a listener. Removing a listener that is not registered has no effect.

Parameters:
listener - a change listener
