I need to load some url in WebView that is unavailable in one country, so I tried to use a proxy with WebView. I've found one solution on SO (https://stackoverflow.com/a/18453384/7478869), and it works with proxy without authentication. But I need to set the proxy with user and password.
Some approaches, that didn't help:
1) Load url with headers
class ProxyAuthWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
String proxyUserName;
String proxyPassword;
public ProxyAuthWebViewClient(String proxyUserName, String proxyPassword){
this.proxyUserName = proxyUserName;
this.proxyPassword = proxyPassword;
}
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
loadUrl(view, url, proxyUserName, proxyPassword);
return true ;
}
}
public void loadUrl(WebView view, String url, String proxyUserName, String proxyPassword){
UsernamePasswordCredentials creds= new UsernamePasswordCredentials(proxyUserName, proxyPassword);
Header credHeader = BasicScheme.authenticate(creds, "UTF-8", true);
Map<String, String> header = new HashMap<String, String>();
header.put(credHeader.getName(), credHeader.getValue());
view.loadUrl(url, header);
}
2) Add password and user in setProxy method (full code below):
Authenticator.setDefault(
new Authenticator() {
@Override
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
return new PasswordAuthentication(
user, password.toCharArray());
}
}
);
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", user);
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", password);
System.setProperty("https.proxyUser", user);
System.setProperty("https.proxyPassword", password );
But I am still getting this error
[WARNING:http_network_transaction.cc(339)] Blocked proxy response with status 407 to CONNECT request for example.com:443
And in WebView: ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED

How to use a proxy with authentication in WebView properly?
Ok, so I Found the answer. Need to add onReceivedHttpAuthRequest
in WebViewClient
@Override
public void onReceivedHttpAuthRequest(WebView view, HttpAuthHandler handler, String host, String realm) {
handler.proceed(user,password);
}
