Moxie proxy support is incomplete

[fbacchella]

When you define a proxy, you do it with :
proxies:

• {
  id: 'myproxy'
  active: true
  protocol: 'http'
  host: 'proxy.somewhere.com'
  port: 8080
  username: 'proxyuser'
  password: 'somepassword'
  }

My proxy is at http://somehost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public. Where can I define the path ?

I hadn't considered paths.

I modeled proxy support after Maven. How would you define the path in Maven's proxy settings? AFAICT you can't. https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.3.3/maven-settings/settings.html

Like that :

<settings>
    <mirrors>
        <mirror>
            <id>nexus</id>
            <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
            <url>http://somehost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public</url>
        </mirror>
    </mirrors>
</settings>

I think we talk about to kind of things. There is the pure http proxies, to allow internet access. That's not the same kind of thing than a mirror, like nexus provides and provide consolidated view of different repository and does caching too.

[gitblit]

Right. The settings you cited are for configuring http connection proxying.

Are you asking me about configuring MoxieProxy? (I never did document that.) Or are you asking about the connection proxying?

[fbacchella]

I would like to use nexus (already installed) instead of MoxieProxy, but that's the idea yes, a little documentation would be helpful.

The Moxie ant components don't support a mirror concept. What you could do is define a repository in build.moxie and declare it to be used first.

registeredRepositories:
- { id:'nexus', url:'http://somehost:8081/nexus/content/groups/public' }

repositories: 'nexus', 'central'

Ok, it works. I would have preferred something in the general settings but it does the job.

[gitblit]

Ok, I think we can do that too.

Move the above snippet to ~/.moxie/settings.moxie.
