Robustness: authenticated proxy issues #384

Closed nottrobin closed 4 years ago

nottrobin commented 7 years ago

We use an authenticated proxy to grant snap builds access to the network without also granting other builds access. This works fine for many snaps but it goes wrong in particular for Java, where the language runtime has terrible support for authenticated proxies.

Virtually everything supports proxies per se just fine, though, so we could make this a lot better by interposing an unauthenticated local proxy which adds the necessary credentials before passing requests through to the real proxy and thence to the network.
