Question

I’m using java Proxy class and passing it to HttpURLConnection.openConnection().
Is there a way to provide authentication information (just like http.proxyUser and http.proxyPassword) to the Proxy class?
Thanks

You can use Authenticator for that purpose:

Authenticator.setDefault(new Authenticator() {

        @Override
        protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                return new PasswordAuthentication("login", "password".toCharArray());
        }
});
