I am setting up a java Twilio connection using the example Twilio java-sdk from the api examples here.
The only difference is I need to run my Twilio connection through a web-proxy with authentication.
There are other questions about connecting to Twilio through a web-proxy but no accepted answers. For example this, based on that answer I have tried implementing a solution like this:
import com.twilio.sdk.TwilioRestClient;
import com.twilio.sdk.TwilioRestException;
import com.twilio.sdk.resource.factory.MessageFactory;
import com.twilio.sdk.resource.instance.Message;
import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.http.auth.AuthScope;
import org.apache.http.auth.UsernamePasswordCredentials;
import org.apache.http.client.CredentialsProvider;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicCredentialsProvider;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients;
import org.apache.http.impl.conn.DefaultProxyRoutePlanner;
import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class Example {
// Find your Account Sid and Token at twilio.com/console
public static final String ACCOUNT_SID = "asdfasdfasdfdasf";
public static final String AUTH_TOKEN = "asdfasdfasdfasdf";
public static final String PROXY_ADDRESS = "1.2.3.4";
public static final int PROXY_PORT = 80;
public static final String PROXY_USER = "user";
public static final String PROXY_PASSWORD = "password";
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Set up Proxy host
HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost(PROXY_ADDRESS, PROXY_PORT);
DefaultProxyRoutePlanner routePlanner = new DefaultProxyRoutePlanner(proxy);
//Set up Proxy user credentials
CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credsProvider.setCredentials(
new AuthScope(PROXY_ADDRESS, PROXY_PORT),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials(PROXY_USER, PROXY_PASSWORD));
//Set up HttpClient with proxy and credentials
CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClients.custom()
.setRoutePlanner(routePlanner)
.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credsProvider)
.build();
TwilioRestClient client = new TwilioRestClient(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN);
client.setHttpClient(httpClient);
// Build a filter for the MessageList
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("Body", "Hello from Java"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("To", "+12345678901"));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("From", "+12345678901"));
MessageFactory messageFactory = client.getAccount().getMessageFactory();
try {
Message message;
message = messageFactory.create(params);
System.out.println(message.getSid());
} catch (TwilioRestException e) {
System.out.println(e.getErrorCode());
System.out.println(e.getErrorMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
It seems to be making it through the proxy with this and reaching the Twilio API but it returns a 20003 error every time. (permission denied)
I suspect that the http-client web proxy authentication is overwriting the twilio account SID and auth token but I am not sure, or if there is a way around this.
I have triple checked my own account SID and auth token and also tried using the "testing" SID and auth token that Twilio provides for the account also but I get the same result.
Any advice for running the Twilio java-sdk through a web proxy?
I am using apache http-client library 4.5.2
Resolved... just needed to add another set of credentials that were scoped to api.twilio.com
after the proxy credentials:
//Set up Proxy user credentials
CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credsProvider.setCredentials(
new AuthScope(PROXY_ADDRESS, PROXY_PORT),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials(PROXY_USER, PROXY_PASSWORD));
//Set up Twilio user credentials
credsProvider.setCredentials(
new AuthScope("api.twilio.com", 443),
new UsernamePasswordCredentials(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN));
I'll leave this here for posterity because there has been several questions about this but no accepted answers.
