Maven: File Transfer Error: Connection refused: connect

Question

I work in a network environment. my network IP is for the Internet:

IE-> tools-> internet options-> connections-> LAN settings-> Use automatic configuration script (enabled): Address: http://autocache.abc.com/

port address is not specified in IE settings.

when I do ping autocache.abc.com it gives the following IP address: 16.234.18.243

in settings.xml, I turned on the entry for the proxy as:

<proxy> <id>genproxy</id> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>autocache.abc.com</host> </proxy> 

Nothing is indicated on the Ie host, i.e.: IE-> tools-> connection-> LAN settings-> advanced-> http shows empty

if I run mvn install , getting the following error:

If I run mvn install without a network connection, that is, on my private Internet connection, it works fine, and the problem is only in the network proxy.

I strongly feel that this is a problem with the host, if I give the host as 16.234.18.243 instead of autocache.abc.com, it still gives the same error.

I tried to create a new local repository (i.e. a remote existing directory), but still the same question.

Answer 1

1> open IE (or any browser),

2> specify the url as http://autocache.abc.com/ (you indicated above) and enter, the file will be downloaded in .pac format, save to the desktop

3> open the .pac file in the text panel, define PROXY:

In your editor, it will look something like this:

  return "PROXY web-proxy.ind.abc.com:8080; PROXY proxy.sgp.abc.com:8080"; 

4> go to Maven settings.xml and type:

 <proxy> <id>optional</id> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>web-proxy.ind.abc.com</host> <port>8080</port> </proxy> 

5> start mvn: install on the command line or run eclipse.

Answer 2

The URL you specified most likely contains a proxy auto-config file. You need to download it and see what proxy server settings are indicated in it.

For example, the contents of a file

  function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { return "PROXY proxy.example.com:8080; DIRECT"; } 

indicates that you should use the proxy server proxy.example.com on port 8080.
