Help Proxy Server Authentication

Question

Hi All,
We are making a J2ME application, and trying to get thru the proxy server which requires authentication.
Here is my code but it is getting hang in between.
Can anyone helps me out:
HttpConnection c = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url);
c.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.GET);
String password = "username : password";
base=new Base64Encoder();
String encodedPassword = base.encode(password);
c.setRequestProperty( "Proxy-Authorization", "Basic" +encodedPassword );
c.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Profile/MIDP-1.0 Confirguration/CLDC-1.0");
c.setRequestProperty("Content-Language", "en-CA");
is = c.openDataInputStream(); //IT HANGS HERE AND THROWS A IOEXCEPTION
len = c.getLength();
if( len != -1)
// Read exactly Content-Length bytes
for(int i =0 ; i < len ; i++ )
System.out.println("4");
if((ch = is.read()) != -1)
System.out.println("5");
b.append((char) ch);
else
//Read until the connection is closed.
while ((ch = is.read()) != -1)
len = is.available() ;
b.append((char)ch);
Can anyone help..

You can try setting the System properties http.proxyUser and http.proxyPassword
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", "myusername")
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", "mypassword")Or if that doesn't work, you can subclass the java.net.Authenticator class and override its getPasswordAuthentication method.
public class ProxyAuthenticator extends java.net.Authenticator {
  public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
    new PasswordAuthentication("myusername", "mypassword".getChars());
}
