http_proxy env variable not used by the manager
Concerned version
Version: 2.0.14
Summary
Our documentation states
If the LL::NG server needs a proxy for outgoing connections, then you need to configure some environment variables.
However LWP::UserAgent::env_proxy is only set in some Portal modules, not in the manager or handler
Possible fixes
- Why is env_proxy not set globally? Is it because of handler REST/devops calls?
- We should at least enable env_proxy in the manager or globally in the portal (Auth::REST does not use it by default)
- What about calling reloadUrls
- We could document the fact that PERL_LWP_ENV_PROXY=1 makes LWP use
