AW: [geclipse-dev] any experiences with accessing S3 from behind aproxy?

["Stuempert, Mathias IWR" <mathias.stuempert@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ashish,

Actually the S3 stuff was implemented behind a proxy, i.e. proxy.fzk.de. So to make a long story short it indeed works for me behind a proxy. The only difference of your and my proxy is that yours seem to need authentication, right?! So since mine doesn't I cannot say anything concerning this.

Nevertheless the pieces of code concerning the proxy settings for S3 can be found in (now any subsequent information has to be handled with care since I am on my private computer and do not have any source codes available ;-) eu.geclipse.aws.internal.Activator. There should be a method that updates the http client seetings whenever the Eclipse proxy settings change. I did never see an option for proxy authentication in the http client settings so I did not add a hook for them. Maybe you want to further investigate here and add the missing parts. If you need any assistance just let me know ...

Cheers, Mathias

Hi folks,

Do any of you have any experiences (+ve or otherwise) of accessing 
Amazon S3 services from g-Eclipse from behind a web proxy?

I have my standard http settings in Eclipse which work (which enable me 
to do stuff like download CA certificates from EU Grid PMA and other 
http related stuff) - see attached screengrab 'Picture1'.

When I try to setup a Grid connection to S3, I run into problems (see 
attached screengrab 'Picture2').

This happens on both EPP packages from this morning and the version in 
HEAD. My shell shows me the following messages:

---------
Mar 10, 2008 3:42:55 PM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector 
processProxyAuthChallenge
INFO: No credentials available for BASIC 'University of Reading 
wwwcache'@wwwcache.rdg.ac.uk:8080

WARNING: Response '/0C6V454S3ZAF1MC3A202/' - Unexpected response code 
407, expected 200

Does the httpclient take the proxy info from the Eclipse Preferences or 
does it expect to find it elsewhere?

Any suggestions?

Regards,
