I am trying to get ANT and IVY to work behind proxy server. SetProxy

  • 0

I am trying to get ANT and IVY to work behind proxy server.

SetProxy task works OK

<target name="proxy">
    <property name="proxy.host" value="proxy.server.com" />
    <property name="proxy.port" value="8080" />
    <setproxy proxyhost="${proxy.host}" proxyport="${proxy.port}" />
</target>

But when I tried to use Environmental Variables

set ANT_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.server.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"

Ivy cannot connect to repos and here is the Ant properties output for proxy

[echoproperties] http.proxyHost=proxy.server.com -Dhttp.proxyPort\=8080

When I tried “autoproxy” argument to no avail

ant -autoproxy deploy

Here is the out of ANT

C:\Workspace\DevProjects\fxin>ant -Dproxy.host=proxy.eur.xerox.com -Dproxy.port=8000 deploy
Buildfile: C:\Workspace\DevProjects\fxin\build.xml

    I have finally got it to work by setting the Env. variable without the surrounding double qoutes

    set ANT_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.eur.xerox.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=8000
    

    For some reason with double quotes or specifying on the command didn’t work. Proxy setting had to be in environmental variable with quotes.

    To add further;

    according to http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#proxy

    specifying proxy settings on command wouldn’t work, as they would be standard ANT properties not JVM options

    Thanks for your time
