Proxy support

soap-cli supports both HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS proxies.

Proxy via CLI flags

  • --proxy-type <type> – http or socks.
  • --proxy-host <host> – proxy host name or IP.
  • --proxy-port <port> – proxy port.
  • --proxy-user <user> – proxy username (optional).
  • --proxy-password <password> – proxy password (optional).

Example: HTTP proxy

java -jar soap-cli.jar \
  --endpoint https://example.com/soap \
  --request-file request.xml \
  --proxy-type http \
  --proxy-host proxy.example.com \
  --proxy-port 3128

Example: SOCKS5 proxy (DNS resolved by the proxy)

java -jar soap-cli.jar \
  --endpoint https://internal.service/soap \
  --request-file request.xml \
  --proxy-type socks \
  --proxy-host 127.0.0.1 \
  --proxy-port 1080

Proxy in profiles

Proxy settings can also be defined in profiles under a proxy object:

{
  "profiles": {
    "myProfile": {
      "endpoint": "https://example.com/soap",
      "requestFile": "requests/example.xml",
      "proxy": {
        "type": "socks",
        "host": "127.0.0.1",
        "port": 1080,
        "user": "user",
        "password": "pass"
      }
    }
  }
}

CLI flags still override profile values.
