Unknown Host in selenium HtmlUnitDriver

Question

I am getting Unknown Host as a return of driver.getPageSource()

public static void main(String[] arg)
{
HtmlUnitDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.get("https://s2fs.filedump.com");
System.out.println(driver.getPageSource());
}

I am getting output as Unknown host. Url which is used in driver.get is accessible only in my company network. Moreover when I'm using chrome driver to access same url it is working fine as it returning page source html.

Does this [discussion](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53724856/htmlunitdriver-does-not-load-javascript-when-navigating-a-page-from-an-url/53744963#53744963) helps you? — undetected Selenium, Nov 30 '19 at 20:41

HtmlUnitDriver is a part of Selenium and instead of HtmlUnitDriver driver you have to use WebDriver driver.

please refer below code :

 WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();
 driver.get("https://www.google.com");
 System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
 driver.quit();

Actually it is the problem of proxy, I use the following code

 WebDriver driver = new HtmlUnitDriver();

 Proxy proxy=new Proxy();
 proxy.setHttpProxy("mycompanyproxy.xyz:port");
 ((HtmlUnitDriver)driver).setProxySettings(proxy);

 driver.get("https://www.google.com");
 System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());
 driver.quit();
