6 years ago Unfortunately the Haxe standard library doesn't support specifying a proxy for the Javascript platform. :frowning: It does make sense, though, because if you are running in a browser, the browser handles the proxy for any requests made by your script. That approach doesn't work for Node, though. It doesn't look like the builtin Node API has any support for making a proxied request either.
NPM uses the request library to make its proxied requests. Would there be any reason not to add that package as a dependency to Lix? That would probably make this easy; request even respects http_proxy environment variables.
If there is a reason not to add request I could probably write a pure Haxe class that does the proxying using request as a reference.

I want to use Lix, but I am behind an HTTP proxy. It would be great to add support for using Lix behind a proxy. I would actually be willing to help out and try to work on this, but I wanted to know if the owners of this project have any preference on how it is implemented.
I am on an Ubuntu machine and I would definitely like it if Lix would be able to read my
http_proxyenvironment variables and configure the proxy accordingly. It does seem like it might be a good idea to add a proxy configuration subcommand as well.
