Proxy toString() in Java

toString(): This method is available in the java.net.Proxy class of Java.

Syntax:

String java.net.Proxy.toString()

This method constructs a string representation of this Proxy. This String is constructed by calling toString() on its type and concatenating " @ " and the toString() results from its address if its type is not DIRECT.

Parameters: NA

Returns: a string representation of this object.

Exceptions: NA

Approach

Java

package com.Proxy;

import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;
import java.net.Proxy;
import java.net.Proxy.Type;
import java.net.SocketAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;

public class ProxytoString {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException {

        InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("java.sun.com");
        int port = 80;
        SocketAddress sockaddr = new InetSocketAddress(addr, port);
        Proxy proxy = new Proxy(Type.HTTP, sockaddr);

        System.out.println(proxy.toString());

    }
}

Output:

HTTP @ java.sun.com/23.54.83.211:80
