It may be that I’m not understanding the UDP protocol…
I’m trying to receive data from a server using the UDP protocol, but I’m sitting behind a firewall. The URLConnection constructor can take an instance of Proxy (as well as a way to set up user name and password of such a proxy server).
How do I connect through a proxy server using the UDP protocol (DatagramSocket)?
Best regards,
TX
Most Proxy servers support the HTTP protocol which is TCP based, so you don’t have to do anything with the proxy server to do this.
To pass UDP over a proxy server, you need a proxy which supports UDP. I don’t know of any proxy server which supports this so you may have to write one yourself. It is worth noting that UDP is a connectionless protocol which means you have have to authenticate every packet.
