Configuring the Proxy

Connections through the HTTP proxy are now supported while using the HttpFS filesystem.

HttpFS filesystem now supports connections through the Http Proxy while reading or writing to HDFS. This is supported for all other file formats except ORC (Optimized Row Columnar) and Apache Parquet file formats.

To use a proxy authentication, you must first specify the proxy server details in the Proxy Host property and port in the Proxy Port property. You can also specify the Proxy username and Proxy password, if the proxy has been already configured with username and password.
