Question

I am following the Jetty HttpClient Example, but I am unable to get an SSL connection working. When I connect using a proxy, it throws a “Not Implemented” exception. When I don’t use a proxy, it doesn’t return anything.

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.setConnectorType(HttpClient.CONNECTOR_SELECT_CHANNEL);
client.setProxy(new Address("www.example.com", 80));
client.start();

// create the exchange object, which lets you define where you want to go
// and what you want to do once you get a response
ContentExchange exchange = new ContentExchange()
{
  // define the callback method to process the response when you get it
  // back
  protected void onResponseComplete() throws IOException
  {
    super.onResponseComplete();
    String responseContent = this.getResponseContent();

    // do something with the response content
    System.out.println(responseContent);
  }
};

exchange.setMethod("GET");
exchange.setURL("https://www.example.com");
exchange.setScheme(HttpSchemes.HTTPS_BUFFER);

// start the exchange
client.send(exchange);
exchange.waitForDone();
System.err.println("Response status: " + exchange.getResponseStatus());

Jetty v7.4.1:

if (dest.isSecure()) {
    if (dest.isProxied()) {
        SSLEngine engine=newSslEngine(channel); ep = new ProxySelectChannelEndPoint(channel, selectSet, key, _sslBuffers, engine, (int)_httpClient.getIdleTimeout());
    } else { ...
