Proxy settings ignored #61

Closed UserNaem closed 6 years ago

UserNaem commented 6 years ago

ahoviewer seems to ignore any proxy settings on Windows, be it a proxy IP or an auto-configuration URL. Some websites (including Danbooru and Gelbooru) are unavailable in my country, but this proxy auto-configuration script works. It's definitely not banned (as of right now), and I can view API pages like this in web browsers.

From what I just read briefly you'll need to set the http_proxy and/or https_proxy environment variables for libcurl to use your proxy automatically. Here's a simple guide on how to do that: https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/cf-cli/http-proxy.html#windows Full proxy format looks like the following http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080 Let me know if that works.

Yes, this appears to be working. My ISP randomly decided to let me access Gelbooru just now, but I was able to also access Danbooru after setting these environment variables (and break it again just to make sure). Thanks a lot. I think this will be a useful addition to readme\FAQ.

Ok I just tried it in a virtual machine and setting both http_proxy and https_proxy to proxy.antizapret.prostovpn.org:3128 seems to work.

I think this will be a useful addition to readme\FAQ.

I'll do so.
