Use with forward proxy #24

Open chris-scentregroup opened 5 years ago

Is this possible and if so how please?

ndrewtl commented 5 years ago

Could you elaborate? Unsure what you're trying to accomplish

chris-scentregroup commented 5 years ago

In some environments direct access to the internet is not allowed and a HTTP forward proxy server needs to be used for any web requests going to the internet.

Hmm... This all depends on how permissive your proxy is. If listen.tidal.com is available via your normal browser, like chrome, over proxy, without any special configuration, then this should work out-of-the box, because electron is just a chromium rendering process. On the other hand, if you need to manually reconfigure chrome reach listen.tidal.com, then it might be more complex. Try searching for electron proxy setup and it might have some responses-- I unfortunately don't have much time. If you can't reach listen.tidal.com, then the forward proxy likely won't work at all.

No issues reaching listen.tidal.com through the proxy as it allows all. I guess however the electron is implemented, it does not consume and use any http proxy env vars.
