HTTPS Proxy error

[spaniard81]

Hi,

I am testing the sample example FetchOnlineDataExample but getting a Java related error:

Could not retrive data: java.io.IOException: Unable to tunnel through proxy. Proxy returns "HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required"

Thinking that this issue seems to be related to Java's proxy settings I have tried my bit and now wanted to seek a confirmation whether the logic of establishing a HTTPS connection and authentication will work, given I pass the following JVM Arguments during runtime:

-Dhttps.proxyHost=xxx.xxx.xx.xx -Dhttps.proxyPort=xxxx -Dhttps.proxyUser=UserId -Dhttps.proxyPassword=Password -Djdk.http.auth.tunneling.disabledSchemes=""

The last Parameter is something I picked from various forums where it is argued that Java 8 onwards Basic authentication scheme has been deactivated. (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u111-relnotes-3124969.html )
