Documentation for use of proxy

[hmottestad]

Maven does not automatically detect that it needs to use the http proxy set up in $http_proxy.

I had to resort to the following:

proxy=$http_proxy
proxy=${proxy#*://}; host=${proxy%%:*}; port=${proxy#*:}
mvn -q -Dhttp.proxyHost=$host \
    -Dhttp.proxyPort=$port \
    -Dhttps.proxyHost=$host \
    -Dhttps.proxyPort=$port \
    clean install -DskipTests

This took a long time to discover. Documentation for how the networking works in the setup script would be great.

Same with nodejs. Still trying to figure out how to use the proxy. I'm getting ERR_FR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS when using axios and ENETUNREACH when using fetch.

EDIT: managed to resolve it when using axios by explicitly setting the agents:

const { HttpsProxyAgent } = require('https-proxy-agent');

const axiosConfig = { proxy: false }
if (process.env.HTTPS_PROXY) {
    axiosConfig.httpsAgent = new HttpsProxyAgent(process.env.HTTPS_PROXY);
}
if (process.env.HTTP_PROXY || process.env.http_proxy) {
    axiosConfig.httpAgent = new HttpsProxyAgent(process.env.HTTP_PROXY || process.env.http_proxy);
}
const axiosInstance = axios.create(axiosConfig);

// ...

axiosInstance.get("https://cloud.watonomous.ca")

I am using this for maven on init script :

proxy="${http_proxy:-$https_proxy}"` && \
proxy="${proxy#*://}" && \
host="${proxy%%:*}" && \
port="${proxy#*:}" && \
mkdir -p ~/.m2 && cat > ~/.m2/settings.xml <<EOF
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                              https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <proxies>
    <proxy>
      <id>codex-proxy</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>${host}</host>
      <port>${port}</port>
      <nonProxyHosts>localhost|127.0.0.1</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
</settings>
EOF

This should work for npm :

proxy="${http_proxy:-$https_proxy}" && \
proxy="${proxy#*://}" && \
host="${proxy%%:*}" && \
port="${proxy#*:}" && \
mkdir -p ~/.npm && cat > ~/.npmrc <<EOF
proxy=http://${host}:${port}
https-proxy=http://${host}:${port}
strict-ssl=false
EOF
