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);

/** * A proxy setting that represents a {@code 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): * <P> * {@code Socket s = new Socket(Proxy.NO_PROXY);} * */

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.

Params:
  • type – the Type of the proxy
  • sa – the SocketAddress for that proxy
Throws:
/** * Creates an entry representing a PROXY connection. * Certain combinations are illegal. For instance, for types Http, and * Socks, a SocketAddress <b>must</b> be provided. * <P> * Use the {@code Proxy.NO_PROXY} constant * for representing a direct connection. * * @param type the {@code Type} of the proxy * @param sa the {@code SocketAddress} for that proxy * @throws IllegalArgumentException when the type and the address are * incompatible */

Returns the proxy type.
Returns:a Type representing the proxy type
/** * Returns the proxy type. * * @return a Type representing the proxy type */
public Type type() { return type; }
Returns the socket address of the proxy, or null if its a direct connection.
Returns:a SocketAddress representing the socket end point of the proxy
/** * Returns the socket address of the proxy, or * {@code null} if its a direct connection. * * @return a {@code SocketAddress} representing the socket end * point of the proxy */
public SocketAddress address() { return sa; }
Constructs a string representation of this Proxy. This String is constructed by calling toString() on its type and concatenating " @ " and the toString() result from its address if its type is not DIRECT.
Returns: a string representation of this object.

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.

Params:
  • obj – the object to compare against.

Returns: true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

Returns a hashcode for this Proxy.
Returns: a hash code value for this Proxy.
