Fields
final public static Proxy NO_PROXY
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);


Constructors
public Proxy(Proxy.Type type, SocketAddress sa)
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.

ThrowsIllegalArgumentException: when the type and the address are incompatible


Methods

final public boolean equals(Object obj)

Two instances of Proxy represent the same address if both the SocketAddresses and type are equal.
objthe object to compare against.
