HTTP Repository

[kmoore134]

Ok, I need the output from this then:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pbid stop
# pbid -v

This worked for me.
my proxy is: proxy.domain.com
port is: 3128

1. configured proxy via the network interface
2. added this to the /etc/profile
HTTP_PROXY=proxy.domain.com:3128; export HTTP_PROXY
3. updated the pbid as suggested by kmoore (with the pbid restart)
% svn co svn://svn.pcbsd.org/pcbsd/current/src-sh/pbi-manager pbi-manager
% cd pbi-manager
% sudo make install
% sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pbid restart
4. set the main repository for AppCafe to be the HTTP once (click on Repositories then "configure repository" and set the HTTP to be the first in line)

Update manager as well as appcafe started to work correctly

Great! This should work for all our PC-BSD utilities in 9.1-RC2 as well.
We should be able to support any proxy configuration that FreeBSD's
"fetch" command does.

Can we make the Network manager automatically add such line to the /etc/profile ?

I also have the configuration to allow chrome to use the proxy, I just handcode it for now, but would be creat if the chrome-wrapper would read the system proxy

those are the steps for chromium:

cd <chrome pbi folder>/share/chromium
mv chrome chrome.bin
mv chrome-wrapper chrome
change the last line from
exec $CMD_PREFIX "$HERE/chrome" "$@"
into
exec $CMD_PREFIX "$HERE/chrome.bin" --proxy-server="proxy.domain.com:3128" "$@"

in other words the wrapper should be the executable and then if there is a proxy in the system (or in /etc/profile) use the proxy-server directive. Such setting works for all the OS

The network manager GUI in 9.1-RC2 has this support.

As for the chrome proxy, is there no way to set it in the GUI after
launching it?

This is the message I get when trying to configure it:
----
When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.

But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man chrome.bin for more information on flags and environment variables.

I was able to make chromium work without change the PBI
in /etc/profile I had to add the lower and upper case "HTTP_PROXY" as well as "HTTS_PROXY" and the "NO_PROXY"
mine looks like this:

HTTP_PROXY=proxy.domain.com:3128; export HTTP_PROXY
HTTPS_PROXY=proxy.domain.com:3128; export HTTPS_PROXY
NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.locald omain.com"; export NO_PROXY
http_proxy=proxy.domain.com:3128; export http_proxy
https_proxy=proxy.domain.com:3128; export https_proxy
no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.locald omain.com"; export no_proxy
