Proxy for internal hubot

[akleandrov]

How set proxy (manual or use http_proxy) for internal hubot?

Rocket.Chat Version: 0.54.2
Running Instances: 1
Node Version: v4.7.3

Being that this is internal. Rocket.Chat wide proxy settings should effect this. This is also needed for #2657

@soulstyless but in general if you use the environment variable: HTTP_PROXY set to the url of your proxy it should work

Hi, thanks @geekgonecrazy for this workaround. Unfortunately this way all requests go through our proxy (locahost included and thus fail). We tried to use NO_PROXY environnement variable ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/proxy_settings ), but it seems rocket.Chat (or one of its components) does not take it into account.
If you have any insight about this matter I will look forward to read it :)

Maybe linked to (My knowledge of rocket.Chat component is not good enough to ensure it is linked) : meteor/meteor#5417

@fcoppolani if you export the variable then yes they would. I would recommend passing this environment variable explicitly to rocket.chat.

Something like: HTTP_PROXY=value node main.js in what ever start up script / daemon you are using.

Thanks for you reply @geekgonecrazy , that is what we have done, HTTP_PROXY works well but everything pass through it (even the localhost requests used by rocket.chat). So we tried the NO_PROXY but this last one is not taken into account (we still see the localhost request coming into our proxy).

hm.. from a quick search it looks like this NO_PROXY is widely requested across many frameworks. But seems to not be baked in with nodejs like HTTP_PROXY is.

@geekgonecrazy was this resolved? Looks like it but I'm not sure if there's changes required to the internal hubot?

Please move this to the rocket.chat forums. Thanks!
