If I try to authenticate using openid to my site, it tries to create a http or https connection to the openid server. This doesn't work, because the direct connection is blocked by the firewall.
|

|
|
It would be good if ikiwiki supported setting up a proxy server to solve this.
|
|
|
|
I have found if I add:
|
|
|
|
newenviron[i++]="HTTPS_PROXY=http://host.domain.com:3128";
|
|
|
|
to IkiWiki/Wrapper.pm it solves the problem for https requests, however it obviously would be preferred if the proxy name is not hard coded.
|
|
|
|
Also, the ability to set HTTPS\_CA\_FILE and HTTPS\_CA\_DIR might benefit some people. Then again, it I can't see any evidence that the SSL certificate of the server is being checked. See the [[bug_report|ssl_certificates_not_checked_with_openid]] I filed on this separate issue.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, HTTP\_PROXY doesn't work for http requests, it looks like that library is different.

Better solution, one that works for both http and https, and uses config options. It appears to work...
|
|
|
|
Note that using $ua->proxy(['https'], ...); won't work, you get a "Not Implemented" error, see <http://community.activestate.com/forum-topic/lwp-https-requests-proxy>. Also see [[!debbug 129528]].
|
|
|
|
Also note that the proxy won't work with liblwpx-paranoidagent-perl, I had to remove liblwpx-paranoidagent-perl first.
|

|
Please get the patch from the *.mdwn source.
