I want to use the 'remoturl' feature. (added PRJ openSUSE.org) And my local obs is not able to connect to 'api.opensuse.org' directly. Access to internet is only allowed via proxy (e.g. squid)
So is there a possibility to tell obs to use a '$http_proxy' ?
I just wrote a small patch which adds basic http proxy support to the backend. To enable it add 'our $proxy = "http://<ip>:<port>";' to the BSConfig.pm file. Afterwards all remoteurl requests will be sent to proxy. The current implementation doesn't support proxy-authorization yet but it should be trivial to implement it (before concentrating on those details I want to know if the current code is ok:) ).
Feedback, remarks, objections etc. are always welcome:)
Why not just 'use LWP::UserAgent'?
Because it's not event based? I.e. we can't do a big select() on all file descriptors with it.
OK, that does seem to be a fundamental limitation then, I'll go back to sleep...
The only thing from LWP that seems vaguely applicable is Net::HTTP::NB[1] but that hardly provides much beneficial abstraction over what you already have. John.
