java.net.UnknownHostException: googleapis

Question

My Spring boot app is able to make calls to Google pub sub APIs and works perfectly as expected but only when it is not behind a proxy.

I am looking to deploy my app in on-premises datacenter which requires proxy to make outbound HTTP call.

1. I used HTTPS_PROXY in my environment.. its not working
2. I used grpc_proxy in my environment.. its not working

Getting this exception

Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: pubsub.googleapis.com

is there any other way to have proxy injected for google libraries ?

Answer 1

Got a solution for this. As mentioned here, we would have to use GRPC_PROXY_EXP.

I gave it this way GRPC_PROXY_EXP=internet.company.com:93 and it worked perfectly fine
