Proxy Support

[VatsalJagani]

To enable proxy support currently, users can manually make the following changes.

bin/mmdb_utils.py - line no. 171

       proxies = None
        '''
        proxies = {
            "http" : "<proxy-supported-schema http|https>://<username>:<password>@<ip-address>:<port>",
            "https" : "<proxy-supported-schema http|https>://<username>:<password>@<ip-address>:<port>"
        }
        '''

Comment the first line and uncomment below lines like this http proxy example:

        # proxies = None
        proxies = {
            "http" : "http://10.0.0.1:3128",
            "https" : "http://10.0.0.1:3128"
        }

https proxy example:

        # proxies = None
        proxies = {
            "http" : "https://10.0.0.1:3128",
            "https" : "https://10.0.0.1:3128"
        }

FAQ

• Getting SSLError while using proxy

Make sure you proxy settings is correct and it is not using both http and https scheme at the same time. Below wrong proxy configuration may result the SSLError

        # proxies = None
        proxies = {
            "http" : "http://10.0.0.1:3128",
            "https" : "https://10.0.0.1:3128"
        }

Hello, +1 on proxy support. using UCC it is quite easy to add this to the code

[VatsalJagani]

In some case, proxy setting without schema seems to work as mentioned in https://github.com/CrossRealms/Splunk-App-Auto-Update-MaxMind-Database/issues/25 like

proxies = {
    'https' : '192.168.25.5:8080'
}
