Question

I want to use a Groovy script to access a webpage. However I’m behind a proxy.

Here’s a test script that fails…

println "Google page is..."
println 'http://www.google.com'.toURL().text

Here’s the output…

>groovy proxytester.groovy 
Google page is... 
Caught: java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect
   at checker.run(proxytester.groovy:2)

How do I set proxy server information in Groovy?

Answer 1

Or, from inside Groovy itself:

System.properties << [ 'http.proxyHost':'proxyHost', 'http.proxyPort':'port' ]
