The request/connection is somehow being blocked. The connection should be made first to the proxy and once it is established, then request can made. I think the core function drupal_http_request() under /includes/common.inc doesn't support this. One workaround is change the code from: <?php switch ($uri['scheme']) { case 'http': //$fp = @fsockopen($uri['host'], ($uri['port'] ? $uri['port'] : 80), $errno, $errstr, 15); ?> into: <?php //use proxy settings $fp = @fsockopen('proxy2', '8080'); ?> And then create the request by change from: <?php $request = "$method $path HTTP/1.0\r\n"; ?> Into: <?php $request = "$method ".$uri['scheme']."://".$uri['host'].$path." HTTP/1.1\r\n"; ?> And comment out the lines: <?php $request .= implode("\r\n", $defaults); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 2, 2005 - 07:38 : Anonymous Did this ever get taken care of in 4.5.2. I can't seem to get any feed to work from behind a firewall. Getting error.... Failed to parse RSS feed Microsoft Security Info: 10060 A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.. At home this same feed works fine, so I know it's not the feed. Thanks, SlackNet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 4, 2005 - 12:24 : jhefmv24 Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/common.inc_4.patch (1.37 KB) +1 on having a facility to modify proxy settings... here's a patch of /includes/common.inc for drupal-4.4.2 version ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 4, 2005 - 12:25 : jhefmv24 Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/system.module_2.patch (956 bytes) +1 on having a facility to modify proxy settings... here's a patch of /modules/system.module for drupal-4.4.2 version ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 4, 2005 - 12:31 : jhefmv24 Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/common.inc_5.patch (1.35 KB) patch for /includes/common.inc 4.5.2 version to facilitate rss feeds behind firewall -- View: http://drupal.org/node/7881 Edit: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/7881
