Tickets application server behind an internet proxy

[Mateusz Morawski]

I discovered that CURL library is used in Tickets at the sever side to
communicate with tracking services. How to configure proxy for all
CURL invocations when tickets application server is behind internet
proxy? For my testing purposes I've just added additional entries
within the php code but It's just my workaround.

Besides I discovered that aprs tracking code does not use CURL and I
had to replace the fopen / fgets functions with CURL code to use
proxy.

I don't currently have a way to test behind a proxy, so if you have any thoughts/code re a general solution to that issue pls do share.

You could create global variables such as proxy_host, proxy_port,
proxy_user, proxy_password. This should be configurable thru Tickets
config page. Now, within the code where CURL calls are used you can
add the following instructions:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $GLOBALS['CURL_PROXY']);

where, e.g.
$GLOBALS['CURL_PROXY'] = "proxy-host:8888";

For my own purposes I've put such global definition into
functions.inc.php.
It's a very basic workaround which could certainly be improved, but it
works.

Besides, you should replace all fopen / fgest instructions related to
sending messages over internet by CURL instructions.

I'm thinking of it as another setting value, with, say, slash-separated elements you note.  But is the forward slash a  safe separator?

I propose the following setting values:
proxy enabled (values: 0,1)
proxy host
proxy port
proxy user
proxy password

The port, user and password settings should be treated as optional (if
use proxy set to 1).
