Using Pubsub with Proxy that needs a basic authentication

[jjpet123]

Hello,

We are using GCP SDK and pubsub service in our project and we'd need to go through an outbound proxy before reaching out to Google. We understand the transport for pubsub is gRPC. We are wondering if there is a way that we can configure the basic authentication for the outbound proxy via the SDK or any other way? We are aware of setting proxy HOST and PORT via environment variables but nothing related to the basic authentication for proxy though, any information on proxy authentication for pubsub is appreciated, thanks!

Hello,

Does anyone know how to authenticate with a proxy when using GCP pubsub? Does pubsub support proxy authentication like basic? It is pretty much blocking our process here, any info is much appreciated!

Hey, is there any clue around this? supported or not, like a workaround, etc? Thanks.

proxy authentication can be set by using java.net.Authenticator.setDefault() as per example over here Closing this issue for now. Please reopen this issue if it needs further attention.

Please, reopen. The suggested solution to use Authenticator.setDefault() is obviously unusable in a multi-threaded environment, where the Basic authentication credentials cannot be considered constant.
