Proxy support?

Hi Joe,

 

 

It looks like the iRuler picks up the default OS proxy if one is configured. But there are some situations where I need to use multiple proxies: one to access the BIG-IP GUI, and one to access the virtual server to test. In particular, the app can only be accessed via IE without a proxy and the iRuler reads the same configuration that IE uses.

 

 

Would it be possible to add functionality to the iRuler to explicitly configure an HTTPS proxy for the iRuler, independent of the OS configuration? I looked through the settings file, but it seemed like there wasn't an option.

 

 

Thanks,

    Doh, I didn't subscribe to this thread. Thanks alot of digging into this.

     

     

    If you still want help testing this, let me know. Else, if you're able to set up a squid proxy (or even a local interception proxy like Burp), you could replicate my customer's environment.

     

     

    Thanks,

    In a quick test, I see two HTTP requests sent via the configured proxy. The first is a call for get_version and the second is get_product_information. After that, I don't see the proxy used when saving a rule, creating a rule, deleting a rule or logging out.

     

     

    A simple way to test this is to run Burp (a standalone jar executable interception proxy) (Click here), and configure the iRuler to use 127.0.0.1:8080 as the proxy.

     

     

    Thanks again,
