[jira] Created: (DIRMINA-415) Proxy support

Proxy support
-------------

                 Key: DIRMINA-415
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRMINA-415
             Project: MINA
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Trustin Lee
             Fix For: 2.0.0-M1


There has been enourmous demand for supporting proxy such as simple port forwarding and SOCKS.  We need to investigate what the best way is to provide an extension point for proxies.

IoFilters are not adequate for proxies because proxies needs changes in the socket addresses (both local and remote) of IoSession.

Now, one thing we should consider is whether we want to support
specifying proxyHost, proxyPort via system properties, just like Socket
does. In that case I don't think it will be as simple as wrapping like
suggested above. Maybe we could support this by having some kind of
factory which looks at the system properties?

Lóránt Pintér wrote:

However, I'd vote for supporting proxyHost and such, because there are a
lot of legacy systems out there moving to MINA. When they finally
migrate to MINA, their users don't really want to know about the change,
and don't expect changes in the configuration of the system.

I think all of these systems will then create something like
LegacyProxyConnector inherited from ProxyingConnector, and set the proxy
parameters from proxyHost etc. As I think a lot of people would
implement this redundantly, MINA could have it out of the box as well.

Trustin Lee updated DIRMINA-415:
--------------------------------

      Component/s:     (was: Core)
                   Transport
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.0.0-M1)

From the recent discussion, we concluded we don't need any core API modification.  Therefore, we can implement this feature later, but at least before 2.0.0-RC1.

James furness updated DIRMINA-415:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: mina-connector-proxy-1.0.0.zip

First cut of proxy connector. Supports unauthenticated proxies and proxies with Basic authentication.

Still quite messy - needs some refactoring to work with IoC containers properly.

Tested with MINA 1.1.

James Furness updated DIRMINA-415:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: mina-connector-proxy-1.1.0.zip

Updated to better support IoC containers. Fixed some issues with the Basic auth.

Now just need to look at NTLM/Digest auth and possibly SOCKS. Also port to MINA 2.0...

---------------------------------------------

I'm currently working on the NTLM auth as it can be usefull for me to use on other protocols.
I'll mail you James for some questions and maybe api improvements.

Ported to MINA 2.0 - tested with MINA 2.0.0 M1

NTLM/Digest/Socks still unimplemented, may not have time to do this for a while

Based on James work i hacked around and achieved working NTLM & socks 4 & 4a proxy support
But it still needs a lot of work : code cleaning, API reworking, socks 5 & digest support
i'll keep sending infos on  progress made

Edouard De Oliveira commented on DIRMINA-415:
---------------------------------------------

Due to personal events i've made less progress than expected.
But Socks5 support is now added and digest auth is currently in progress.
Code still needs lot of work

The problem is that it is hard to test the code as i have no dedicated network to test it. For example, i've been unable to find a free proxy supporting Socks5 with GSSAPI auth.
Generally speaking i've been forced to use many different proxies because each of them has a unique combination of auth methods.
So i may need help on this, if some of you could test the proxy program within their network it would help debbuging.

Regarding a previous comment on IOC containers, i've no idea on how to make code IoC friendly : i'll accept any clue on this ;p

Another important point is that the code contains some basic objects (HttpHeader, HttpResponse etc...) that i think should be refactored to use AsyncWeb (not sure this is the official MINA http project ?) code
WDYT ?

That's all for the moment
Any comments or help is appreciated.

Hi community,

This is a great day (althought i spent 3 hours in the strike this morning :( ...)
as i'm proud to announce after 4 months of work that
i'm releasing a proxy support connector for MINA 2.0-M1.

This release features :

HTTP proxy :
- Support for NTLM authentication
- Support for Digest authentication
- Transparent support for reconnection to a http proxy that does not support connection keep alive
- Support for HTTP/1.1 requests
- Support for multi valued headers
- Configuration of prefered authentication mechanism
- Smart proxy authentication system that dynamically and automatically selects the mechanism to use

SOCKS :
- Support for SOCKS4 and SOCKS4a
- Support for SOCKS5 with support for GSSAPI authentication via Kerberos V

Moreover i added some test classes and junit testcases to test internals and
cover most of the revelant functionnalities.

I hope this work will be usefull for the community as i put great efforts on it
I'm really excited by looking forward for your questions, comments, etc...

Regards,
- Edouard De Oliveira -
