Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:Proxy [NONE]
public class Proxy extends Object This class represents a proxy setting, typically a type (http, socks) and a socket address. A `Proxy` is an immutable object. Since: 1.5 See Also: `ProxySelector`

### field:NO_PROXY [NONE]
### NO_PROXY public static final Proxy NO_PROXY A proxy setting that represents a `DIRECT` connection, basically telling the protocol handler not to use any proxying. Used, for instance, to create sockets bypassing any other global proxy settings (like SOCKS): `Socket s = new Socket(Proxy.NO_PROXY);`

### constructor:Proxy(java.net.Proxy.Type,java.net.SocketAddress) [NONE]
### Proxy public Proxy (Proxy.Type type, SocketAddress sa) Creates an entry representing a PROXY connection. Certain combinations are illegal. For instance, for types Http, and Socks, a SocketAddress must be provided. Use the `Proxy.NO_PROXY` constant for representing a direct connection. Parameters: `type` - the `Type` of the proxy `sa` - the `SocketAddress` for that proxy Throws: `IllegalArgumentException` - when the type and the address are incompatible

### method:type() [NONE]
### type public Proxy.Type type() Returns the proxy type. Returns: a Type representing the proxy type

### method:address() [NONE]
### address public SocketAddress address() Returns the socket address of the proxy, or `null` if it's a direct connection. Returns: a `SocketAddress` representing the socket end point of the proxy

### method:toString() [NONE]
### toString public String toString() Constructs a string representation of this Proxy. This String is constructed by calling toString() on its type and concatenating " @ " and the toString() result from its address if its type is not `DIRECT`. Overrides: `toString` in class `Object` Returns: a string representation of this object.

### method:equals(java.lang.Object) [NONE]
### equals public final boolean equals (Object obj) Compares this object against the specified object. The result is `true` if and only if the argument is not `null` and it represents the same proxy as this object. Two instances of `Proxy` represent the same address if both the SocketAddresses and type are equal. Overrides: `equals` in class `Object` Parameters: `obj` - the object to compare against. Returns: `true` if the objects are the same; `false` otherwise. See Also: `InetSocketAddress.equals(java.lang.Object)`

### method:hashCode() [NONE]
### hashCode public final int hashCode() Returns a hashcode for this Proxy. Overrides: `hashCode` in class `Object` Returns: a hash code value for this Proxy. See Also: `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)` `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`
