Proxy support #104

Open jmdaweb opened 7 years ago

jmdaweb commented 7 years ago

Although TWBlue now supports http, https, socks4 and socks5 proxy servers, it fails when these servers require autentication. We have to determine if it happens only on http proxy servers, or on all types. We need to test all possible configurations. Do you know any proxy server that we can run quickly on Windows / Linux to perform tests? I know Squid, and @ivnc has created an account for us in his proxy. OpenSSH allows us to have a socks4 / socks5 proxy, but without autentication. Any ideas?

I have performed some tests with CCProxy. It seems that http connections require an http proxy, and https connections require an https proxy. socks4 and socks5 proxies support both protocols. TWBlue has passed successfully tests with proxy autentication.

Not yet, I need to perform more tests.

Now that TWBlue can be opened without Internet connection and some users have reported succesful tests, this issue is almost closed. We have to add digest authentication for proxy servers. Requests-toolbelt has a class which implements this functionality. Regards.

ivnc commented 7 years ago

Excuse me for the delay. As @jmdaweb commented me privately the application has passed sucessfuly https proxy with authentication tests. Recently I update to the last version (I was using 0.88) and made tests. I can use TWBlue behind a HTTP/HTTPS proxy so the part of iimplementing support for HTTP/HTTPS authentication I thinkt that's closed.

Regards.

Can you enable digest authentication in your server? It may be useful to perform the final tests before closing this issue.
