Module admin using proxy with authentication

FreePBX Tips and Tricks
1

Hi,

Has anyone been successful to get the Module admin working through a proxy with authentication?

I’m using FreePBX 2.9.0.1.

I tried to include export http_proxy + ftp_proxy in the exec("wget…), replace the wget for a script that did the same. I used the following function that works in another setup (to pull rss feeds) combined with what a user provided on this forum (except this did not included authentication):

[php]
function proxy_url($proxy_url) {

$proxy_name = "host"; 
$proxy_port = port; 
$proxy_user = "user"
$proxy_pass = "pass"
$proxy_cont = "";

$proxy_fp = fsockopen($proxy_name, $proxy_port, $errno, $errstr, 2);

if (!$proxy_fp) {return false;}

fputs($proxy_fp, "GET $proxy_url HTTP/1.1\\r\\n");
fputs($proxy_fp, "Proxy-Authorization: Basic ". base64_encode ("$proxy_user:$proxy_pass")."\\r\\n\\r\\n"); 

while(!feof($proxy_fp)) {
	$proxy_cont .= fread($proxy_fp,4096);
}

fclose($proxy_fp);

$proxy_cont = substr($proxy_cont, strpos($proxy_cont,"\\r\\n\\r\\n")+4);

return $proxy_cont;

}
[/php]

No results… always get a time-out

Of course manually test from the prompt it works.

Any suggestions?
