git cl upload via SOCKS proxy?

[Dan Beam]

Hey all,

Is there a way I can upload patches through a SOCKS proxy from the command line?  Currently using a hacky^Wtethered internet connection.

I've tried all kinds of fun stuff, e.g. setting these environment variables:

  http_proxy, https_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, SOCKS_SERVER

with all kinds of fun values:

  socks5://127.0.0.1:8080, http://127.0.0.1:8080, s/127.0.0.1/localhost/

and have also tried hacking up depot_tools/git_cl.py with 2 version of socksipy[1] which generally results in:

  urllib2.URLError: <urlopen error unknown url type: socks5>

Any ideas?

tsocks should work in a pinch. Running "tsocks git cl upload" should force all connections to be made through the proxy of your choice specified by the config file ~/.tsocks.conf

Ultimately I haven't been able to get tsocks nor proxychains working for my particular case.  Neither tsocks nor proxychains built cleanly on Mac, and after I fixing their code they still had issues (i.e. didn't work).  I'm not sure their approach of listening for shared library connect() calls are sufficiently robust (maybe something's statically linked or using a different libc?).

Additionally, git hasn't been working for me either (even though it's got built-in proxy capabilities):

  $ git config --global http.proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:8080

  $ git config --global https.proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:8080

  $ GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone https://github.com/git/git.git

  Cloning into 'git'...
  * Couldn't find host github.com in the .netrc file; using defaults
  * About to connect() to proxy 127.0.0.1 port 8080 (#0)  // <-- looks correct
  *   Trying 127.0.0.1...
  * Adding handle: conn: 0x7fa63a004400
  * Adding handle: send: 0
  * Adding handle: recv: 0
  * Curl_addHandleToPipeline: length: 1

  * Could not resolve host: github.com  // <-- oh noes!
  * Closing connection 0
  fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/git/git.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com

DNS doesn't seem to be resolved using the proxy.

Still looking for workarounds.

Looks like the easy way to get tsocks on mac is through homebrew - if you want to give that a try: https://whatbox.ca/wiki/tsocks. tsocks also doesn't forward DNS through the SOCKS proxy by default. This can only be enabled at compile time, and probably requires that your SOCKS proxy supports UDP. Your mileage may vary though I've only personally used tsocks on linux from the package manager to forward TCP connections.

I'm sorry to hear you have to battle with 2nd world level internet access.

Thanks for sharing!

The patch could be uploaded in my local env by both setting git proxy and tsocks. \o/

I.g.

1. Set git proxy:

git config --global http.proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

git config --global https.proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:1080

2. Run in tsocks:

tsocks git cl upload

Cool; thanks for the tip!

Hmm,  tsocks seems not quite stable.

`proxychains git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master` works perfectly for me.

See https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/user-upload.html for details.

BTW, it seems `gclient sync` always fails by SOCKS proxy in my evn. Any advice?

Thanks:)
