Proxy issues?

rrichardson opened this issue · 2 comments

When I try to run the hoplon examples with boot, it just sits there for a very long time, which, after the subsequent stack trace, looks to be 4 retry timeouts.

I am behind a corporate proxy, I have environment settings for proxies that Leiningen seems to understand but boot does not.

It would be nice if:

  1. boot told me that it was attempting to fetch dependencies.
  2. told me the first time it timed out reaching the interwebs.
  3. understood the http(s)_proxy env var.

On a side note, I'm sure you have some very good reasons for why boot isn't just a plugin for leiningen.. care to share what those are?

Hi, thanks for stopping by. I added http_proxy env var support, but haven't tested - would you mind pulling, rebuilding, and confirming that it's fixed?

Re: moving from Leiningen, I attempted to summarize on Reddit.

I am back at home so I stood up a squid proxy and pointed http(s)_proxy to it, then watched packets going over it with tcpdump. I am fairly confident that the fix would work well in an oppressive corporate environment.
