Error -9808 using Proxy Server

Question

Hey All,
I can't log in to the iTunes Store or authorize my computer. Trying to do so brings up error -9808. I can however view the store and download free songs etc. I think the problem is related to my proxy server. I live on a university campus and have to go through their proxy, which has all sorts of nasty security settings and such. It has also been suggested that my firewall (Norton 2007) is to blame, but I tried turning it off to no avail. iTunes says they can't give technical support. Anyone have any idea what I can do about it? At least can anyone tell me what error -9808 actually means so I can talk to the administrators?
Thanks,
Tom Siebert

Answer 1

code level setting proxy into the HttpTransportInfo should work, maybe you can add the line to see the error details:
System.setProperty("javax.net.debug","all");
or can you sure your stub has been obtained before setting the proxy?
if not, JAX-RPC has another way to create service:
Proxy p = new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("myhost.in.here", 8600));
HttpTransportInfo info = new HttpTransportInfo();
info.setProxy(p);
XXXService aa = new XXXService(wsdl, info);
... to get the stub through proxy.
HTH,
