In Java, I would like to make a connection to a MySQL server which is on the web from a client computer that is behind a http proxy. I have read few solutions some say http tunnelling might work and some suggest a very old link from oracle which is not available anymore. So the question is:
How can we connect to a MySQL server from a computer which is behind a http proxy?
You can try the following code and see if it works. It worked for me over TCP
package indika.jdbc.connectivity;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.util.Properties;
public class ConnectOverProxy {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new ConnectOverProxy();
}
public ConnectOverProxy() {
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn = null;
Properties info = new Properties();
//info.put("proxy_type", "4"); // SSL Tunneling
info.put("proxy_host", "[proxy host]");
info.put("proxy_port", "[proxy port]");
info.put("proxy_user", "[proxy user]");
info.put("proxy_password", "[proxy password]");
info.put("user", "[db user]");
info.put("password", "[db pass word]");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://[db host]/",info);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select NOW()");
rs.next();
System.out.println("Data- " + rs.getString(1));
rs.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException er) {
er.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Also look at "http://www.idssoftware.com/jdbchttps.html", However I have not used this personally.
