[fossil-users] Support for Zscaler proxy...

[Urmil Parikh]

Hi,

Our IT team is moving to Zscaler proxy and testing fossil through this proxy fails with '400 Bad request'. Using old proxy server (still active, not sure what type) works.

IT guys told me that CONNECT method will work, not sure what it is.

Any help possible?

I have never had a problem with Fossil working through an HTTP proxy
server. Unfortunately, I don't know what proxy server is currently
used at my workplace, so I can't cite it as an example. I can say that
Fossil worked through a proxy the first time with no support from IT.

Connecting to an HTTPS server through a proxy uses the connect method, if
your IT dept. even bothers to route HTTPS through Zscaler.

It seems fossil sends POST method to proxy server (I tried fossil pull ...).
I tested git through proxy (socat - proxy:wwwproxy:$1:$2,proxyport=80) and it works, using CONNECT method.

I'll look at ssl code to see if non-ssl can also use CONNECT method.

Be aware that fossil uses cgi mode, even when in standalone server mode,
and that cgi does not support all request types (e.g. PUT and DELETE
iirc).

Update: fossil does work through the proxy.

Problem seems to be with the proxy, it gives 'bad request' error when user@ is added to URL in POST method.

I'll work with IT folks for fixing it.
