A different feature request

[andy law (RI)]

Joel,

To stray away from plug-ins and all the other stuff we've been
discussing, can I ask for another feature addition. This should be
simple to implement.

Can you modify the setup/setup_library/upgrade.php file slightly,
specifically change lines 62 and 107 from:

$client = new
soapclient($GLOBALS['configuration']['soap'], true);

To:

$client = new
soapclient($GLOBALS['configuration']['soap'], true,
$GLOBALS['configuration']['proxyhost'],
$GLOBALS['configuration']['proxyport'],
$GLOBALS['configuration']['proxyusername'],
$GLOBALS['configuration']['proxypassword'] );

And then add the following to the default configuration.php file:

// If your web server machine is firewalled to block outgoing http
// requests and requires you to use a proxy in order to tunnel out then
// set the relevant values in the slots below in order to enable the
// upgrade functionality in the setup system to work properly.
// If none of the above makes any sense to you and the upgrade
// functionality works anyway, then just leave these as default values.
$configuration['proxyhost'] = false;
$configuration['proxyport'] = false;
$configuration['proxyusername'] = false;
$configuration['proxypassword'] = false;

One of my web server machines can't make outgoing requests directly. It
also doesn't have zlib available (Sheesh!), so the upgrade function
*still* doesn't work but that's a different issue.

Later,

Andy

Sounds like a good idea Andy, will do.
