Description

Proxy settings are ignored when trying to add a vector layer that is on the web, ie:

http://geonb.snb.ca/ArcGIS/rest/services/GeoNB_ENV_Flood/MapServer/3/query?text=0&geometry=&geometryType=esriGeometryEnvelope&inSR=&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects&where=&returnGeometry=true&outSR=&outFields=&f=pjson

If I use a direct connection to the internet, this works fine. But I've watched my proxy server while trying with the proxy settings, and I've seen no activity by QGIS.

The settings work fine for getting/using plugins. Just not for this...

#4 Updated by Andrew DeMerchant about 11 years ago

Doesn't appear to work any better in 2.0 for me...It looks like it's behaving exactly like before - no attempt to connect to my proxy at all, and it's giving an error.

#5 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 11 years ago

  • Affected QGIS version changed from 1.7.4 to 2.0.1
  • Status changed from Feedback to Open

#6 Updated by Jeremy Palmer about 11 years ago

This ticket might relate #8600. Note the plugin installer is not working correctly with the proxy server in 2.0 now.

#7 Updated by Jürgen Fischer about 11 years ago

The proxy settings only apply to networks requests QGIS does directly, not those done via OGR. I think OGR uses libcurl for that. Try setting the CURLOPTPROXY environment variable (or http_proxy).

#8 Updated by Andrew DeMerchant about 11 years ago

I can tell you that the plugin installer worked fine with my proxy settings, for what it's worth.

#9 Updated by Andrew DeMerchant about 11 years ago

The http_proxy environment variable did the trick - not sure how you can handle that all within QGIS, but that definitely made this work for me...

see #14616

#12 Updated by Marco Lechner over 8 years ago

Could it be an apropriate solution to set GDAL_HTTP_PROXY ([[https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ConfigOptions#GDAL_HTTP_PROXY]]) somehow in [[https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/providers/gdal/qgsgdalprovider.cpp]] even this will overwrite eventually set http_proxy variables?
