abstract public class: ProxySelector [javadoc | source]
java.lang.Object
   java.net.ProxySelector
Selects the proxy server to use, if any, when connecting to the network resource referenced by a URL. A proxy selector is a concrete sub-class of this class and is registered by invoking the setDefault method. The currently registered proxy selector can be retrieved by calling getDefault method.

When a proxy selector is registered, for instance, a subclass of URLConnection class should call the select method for each URL request so that the proxy selector can decide if a direct, or proxied connection should be used. The select method returns an iterator over a collection with the preferred connection approach.

If a connection cannot be established to a proxy (PROXY or SOCKS) servers then the caller should call the proxy selector's connectFailed method to notify the proxy selector that the proxy server is unavailable.

Method from java.net.ProxySelector Detail:
 abstract public  void connectFailed(URI uri,
    SocketAddress sa,
    IOException ioe)
    Called to indicate that a connection could not be established to a proxy/socks server. An implementation of this method can temporarily remove the proxies or reorder the sequence of proxies returned by #select(URI) , using the address and the IOException caught when trying to connect.
 public static ProxySelector getDefault() 
    Gets the system-wide proxy selector.
 abstract public List<Proxy> select(URI uri)
    Selects all the applicable proxies based on the protocol to access the resource with and a destination address to access the resource at. The format of the URI is defined as follow:
    • http URI for http connections
    • https URI for https connections
    • ftp URI for ftp connections
    • socket://host:port
      for tcp client sockets connections
 public static  void setDefault(ProxySelector ps) 
    Sets (or unsets) the system-wide proxy selector. Note: non-standard protocol handlers may ignore this setting.
