Proxy

• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
private Type	type Represents a SOCKS (V4 or V5) proxy.
private SocketAddress	sa
public static final Proxy	NO_PROXY A proxy setting that represents a DIRECT connection, basically telling the protocol handler not to use any proxying. Used, for instance, to create sockets bypassing any other global proxy settings (like SOCKS): Socket s = new Socket(Proxy.NO_PROXY);

Constructors Summary
private Proxy() // Creates the proxy that represents a <code>DIRECT</code> connection. type = type.DIRECT; sa = null;
public Proxy(Type type, SocketAddress sa) Creates an entry representing a PROXY connection. Certain combinations are illegal. For instance, for types Http, and Socks, a SocketAddress must be provided. Use the Proxy.NO_PROXY constant for representing a direct connection. param type the Type of the proxy param sa the SocketAddress for that proxy throws IllegalArgumentException when the type and the address are incompatible if ((type == Type.DIRECT) || !(sa instanceof InetSocketAddress)) throw new IllegalArgumentException("type " + type + " is not compatible with address " + sa); this.type = type; this.sa = sa;

Methods Summary
public java.net.SocketAddress	address() Returns the socket address of the proxy, or null if its a direct connection. return a SocketAddress representing the socket end point of the proxy return sa;
public final boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj) Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and it represents the same proxy as this object. Two instances of Proxy represent the same address if both the SocketAddresses and type are equal. param obj the object to compare against. return true if the objects are the same; false otherwise. see java.net.InetSocketAddress#equals(java.lang.Object) if (obj == null || !(obj instanceof Proxy)) return false; Proxy p = (Proxy) obj; if (p.type() == type()) { if (address() == null) { return (p.address() == null); } else return address().equals(p.address()); } return false;
public final int	hashCode() Returns a hashcode for this Proxy. return a hash code value for this Proxy. if (address() == null) return type().hashCode(); return type().hashCode() + address().hashCode();
public java.lang.String	toString() Constructs a string representation of this Proxy. This String is constructed by calling toString() on its type and concatenating the toString() result from its address if any. return a string representation of this object. if (type() == Type.DIRECT) return "DIRECT"; return type() + " @ " + address();
public java.net.Proxy$Type	type() Returns the proxy type. return a Type representing the proxy type return type;
