Use a parent proxy

[dtouzeau]

Is it possible to use a proxy parent in order to chain redwood and upstream proxy ?

[andybalholm]

It used to be (by setting the HTTP_PROXY environment variable). It's been years since we used that feature, though. I think it only works for plain HTTP at this point, not for HTTPS.

Not possible to enforce the settings without using environment ? We need to chain with a local proxy service

[andybalholm]

Setting environment variables (on the server running Redwood) is the only way to make Redwood use an upstream proxy. And even that is basically unsupported—just a leftover from the time when we were running Redwood with Squid.
