XMLHttpRequest behind Proxy (in jaggery)

[dkgkim]

When I set up a proxy using Java command line args and then started the business process server, I found that the login to bpmn-explorer failed.
As you can see, when calling api with XMLHttpRequest, the java options http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort apply well, but the http.nonProxyHosts option does not apply.

Hi Kim,
What is the BPS version you are using?

Hi,
I'm using BPS version 3.6.0. And recently I used BPS included in EI 6.1.0.
These modules use Jaggery 0.12.6 and 0.12.8 versions, respectively.

• org.jaggeryjs.hostobjects.xhr_0.12.6.jar (in BPS 3.6.0)
• org.jaggeryjs.hostobjects.xhr_0.12.8.jar (in EI 6.1.0)

Hi Kim,
We are calling localhost form the bpmn-explorer backend (localhost), as you say, this will go through the proxy, and it's an issue. We can't fix this simply, because the apache http-client version we use (3.1.0) doesn't support ignore proxy setting.

I have created an issue in EI project wso2/product-ei#546 and we will consider it for the next EI release.

Until then, can you please try adding etc/hosts entry to the proxy machine to point back at BPS to solve the issue?

Hi,
It can be fix by pull request #172.
I coded that ignore proxy setting if target url is included in nonProxyHosts.
Is that way has any problem?

please review the pull request #172 and merge or comment about it.

Hi Kim,
I didn't notice that we create a HttpClient for each XMLHttpRequest (which is wrong). But that make it possible to fix this at per XMLHttpRequest level as you have done. Thank you very much for sending the PR, I will test with EI and merge.
