Hello fellow racketeers,
So we have a few web crawlers written in Racket that for the most part
work quite well - however, we often have them running behind our
corporate proxy. We were quite bemused today when one stopped working
when it found an https link.
A quick check of the docs revealed:
(current-proxy-servers)
→ (listof (list/c string? string? (integer-in 0 65535)))
(current-proxy-servers mapping) → void?
mapping : (listof (list/c string? string? (integer-in 0 65535)))
A parameter that determines a mapping of proxy servers used for
connections. Each mapping is a list of three elements:
* the URL scheme, such as "http";
* the proxy server address; and
* the proxy server port number.
Currently, **the only proxiable scheme is "http"**. The default
mapping is the empty list (i.e., no proxies).
Are there any plans for a proxy implementation for https? Or any major
obstacles preventing such? I know very little about the dark
innerworkings of ssl.
Thanks,
Matthew Eric
