Hi,
just found this old thread regarding the proxy capabilities of sa-update. I
wonder why Michael's patch hasn't been included to the official source.
We've got a customer that wants to use sa-update through a proxy but using a
custom patch to provide such a feature is kind of weird. Would it be
possible to make the patch official? At least it'd be great if one could
specify username and password in addition to the proxy url by using
environment variables for LWP::Agent.
Any comments on this?
Daniel
Was this ever filed as a bug with the suggested patch attached? Nothing
gets in the code without a bug filed.
