using behind corporate proxy #1

Hello. Is it possible to use this library behind a corporate proxy server (using NAT is not possible for now)? At the moment I can't access packages on the Internet, because as far as I understand nginx is not able to explicitly use proxy servers for proxying.

As a result, the following scheme should be obtained: server with the application -> velocita-proxy -> corporate proxy server (squid) -> repo.packagist.org | api.github.com | codeload.github.com ...

You're right that it currently is not possible with the configuration that velocita-proxy offers. I think that how it needs to work, is as follows:

Configure an nginx upstream to the squid server
Use proxy_pass http://@squid-upstream to redirect requests to the corp proxy
Set the Request-URI HTTP header to the target URI (not the Velocita URI) so Squid understands what URI to proxy to

Does that sound about right?

I'm not sure, but I found a couple of articles on Google that also advised using nginx upstream , but I haven't been able to set it up that way yet. If you can confirm that it will work, I'll try it further.
