Question

I am behind a proxy. I have the proxy details. However I am not sure how to use these details to connect to twitter.

I have looked at the documentations so I am aware of the methods:

setHttpProxy(java.lang.String proxyHost, int proxyPort)
void setHttpProxyAuth(java.lang.String proxyUser, java.lang.String proxyPass)


But it is not possible to use them as, Eclipse draws a red line underneath them.
Do I need to import or initialise anything before using these methods?

Answer 1

Could you try adding the properties

http.proxyHost=yourProxyHost
http.proxyPort=yourProxyPort

to the twitter4j.properties ?

More about properties for twitter4j at http://twitter4j.org/en/configuration.html

Note that twitter4j lacks proxy-support in versions earlier then 2.1.4 ref this thread:
Twitter4j HTTPClient ProxyServer and Java

Hope it helps 🙂
