Hi there,
Is there a way to use osc through a ssh tunnel ? The problem is that my university's proxy configuration is causing all kind of problems (osc connections hang up), and one way to avoid the proxy is to use a ssh tunnel to one of the university's machine with direct access to the internet. Basically, I would need to tell osc to connect to localhost at a certain port, which would be redirected to api.opensuse.org:443 through the ssh tunnel. In the $HOME/.oscrc, there is a comment about changing api.opensuse.org to a different server, but without enough details to make it work ?
Well, the api uses an https interface, but no ssh protocol. However, when you have no stable https connections to the outside the problem is a bit bigger imho. I would debug why this is and if either you can fix your network or we need to add something to handle some obscur secure network setups better ... If https does not work, also browsing a number of web pages will not work for you, so I doubt this is really wanted. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org
