How can I fetch data from an HTTPS Url via Proxy?

I am getting Connection timed out: connect.

My code:

    System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", "proxy.mycompany.com");
    System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8080");

    String url = URL_BASE + "&limit=5";
    URL u = new URL(url);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
            new InputStreamReader(
            u.openStream()));

    String inputLine;

    while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
        System.out.println(inputLine);

    in.close();

I suggest you fetch the content using apache http commons httpclient. There you can set proxy authentication on the client without the need to modify the global jvm properties.

If you're fetching a URL on HTTPS, then you must set https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort. See documentation on Java Networking and Proxies, section 2.2.

System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", "proxy.mycompany.com");
System.setProperty("https.proxyPort", "8080");

assuming that proxy.mycompany.com on port 8080 is also an HTTPS proxy
