Corporate proxy for iot-service-client

[alam-R]

• OS and version used: Centos 7

• Java runtime used: 1.8

• SDK version used: 1.21

Hey there,

I couldn't find an answer so my question is:
Is it possible to define an unauthenticated internal proxy for iot-service-client? If so, is there a sample or a reference?

Thanks!

What features do you need proxy support for on the service client? Is this for registry manager (device identity management) or service client (messaging, file upload notification)?

[alam-R]

This is for the registry manager. I was wondering if I could specify my company's internal network when I am trying to connect to my IoT Hub.

[timtay-microsoft]

Currently the registry manager does not have proxy support, but I can look into adding it

[alam-R]

It would be most helpful for our application which runs behind a corporate proxy, thanks!

[alam-R]

Thank you very much @timtay-microsoft for your effort.
But we will need also proxy support for the service client for messaging. Is this also possible?

[timtay-microsoft]

That depends, what kind of proxy do you use, and which protocol do you use for messaging (amqps or amqps_ws)?

[timtay-microsoft]

I could feasibly add proxy support for typical HTTP proxies if you are using amqps_ws, similar to how we have it on the device client side.

[alam-R]

Yes we are using the websocket version of the AMQPS, so again we would be grateful if you could add support for HTTP proxies.
Thank you!

[timtay-microsoft]

Yeah, that's feasible. I'll try to get that feature in soon. Do you need authentication for these proxies?

[alam-R]

No, not at the moment at least!

[alam-R]

Thank you @timtay-microsoft, I've used the updates and works like a charm!
Do you know when it will be released?

[timtay-microsoft]

Glad to hear it! We're hoping to get the release out within the next week

[timtay-microsoft]

Proxy support has now been released as of service client version 1.22.0, so I'm closing this issue.
