Missing proxy settings for fetching external pages

[netdevfighter]

We use the rocket chat on an internal network without direct internet access (is blocked by firewall) but we can use a proxy for access it (only for external networks/pages).

Is it possible to implement proxy (external destination) and no proxy (internal destination)?

That would be pretty cool for link previews (for example).

I believe this depends on #2555

same issue

[zbyte]

Will it ever been done?

[Abraka]

Any progress on this?

[marceloschmidt]

I'm not sure I understand the request. Are you interested in a server-side proxy? Because afaict, image and link preview happens on the server side, so a proxy on the client-side wouldn't make much sense.

[Abraka]

No, we just simply want a option in administration interface of rocketchat... something like: http(s)proxy://"corporate.proxy.com". Description: Use this option for links and content-video preview if your installation cannot reach internet directly.
Do not confuse this for system wide option of http_proxy which could cause internals components of rocketchat to communicate between each other through this proxy, which is very unwelome scenario.

Hi
I've just found this PR #11124
Is it helpful?

[Abraka]

well, function description looks similar...what scares me here is that request is over year old!

[idl0r]

That'd be really cool. We'd like to use a proxy.

Yes still need it, keep it alive !

No news ?

After Log4Shell, security has tightened. Internet access via proxy is mandatory now.
Please provide a proxy setting
