Project: Drupal Version: 4.4.2 Component: base system Category: feature requests Priority: minor Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: liquidx Updated by: Bèr Kessels Status: patch Hi, you use variable_get('proxy_name', '') , but that is not defined anywhere. I would plead against another config option, or conf.php options. I am no proxy guru, so the following suggestion might be impossible: * add the proxy port to the $base_url and try to re-arrange your logic in such a way ,that it will detect the port from the $base_url. If found the variabale will be set, and userd. * or use the default system, but add some logic to the fsockopen, that, if it fails, it will try again, with proxy, if that was sucessfull, set the variable.

So I've written a quick patch to add http_proxy support in conf.php. I'm not sure whether that is the best place to put it, but if you think people might want a UI to change that, I could do that. But I suspect that proxy settings don't change much (its not like you migrate a drupal web site to different isps everyday :), so conf.php seems like a good choice.

READ PLEASE! How to afford anything you want, no joke! Read, it cant hurt! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! AND RICH! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article. You then place your name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked? I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money that you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (plus postage). IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!! IMPORTANT2: The $1.00 for each person on the list is for keeping you up to date and for putting you in all our newsgroups. So you will make just as much as we do!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the 4 easy steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. This is absolutely legal? You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses: 1.) GLEN RAY CAMPBELL Jr. 919 Virginia Ct. Panama City,Fl 32404,usa 2.)Heather Angel 4244 46th St. San Diego, Ca. 92115 3.) Alexander Dolstra Frederik Hendrik straat 37 3143 LB Maassluis the Netherlands 4.) J. Kirk 2360 Forbes Ave. Santa Clara, CA 95050 5.) N. Hernandez PO Box 712 Crystal Beach, Fl. 34681, usa 6.)D.Herela 849 La Fayette apt.6-D El Paso, TX. 79907, usa STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc. ...) and add YOUR name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to the original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups.) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way, if you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way, too. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reached the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above). Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! ---DIRECTIONS----FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------------ STEP 1: You do not need to re-type letter to your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. STEP 2: Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'PASTE'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the bottom of the list and to change the numbers of the list. STEP 3: Save your new notepad file as a '.txt' file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. STEP 4: Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try search for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions). STEP 5: Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting 'PASTE' from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations... That is it! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! ** REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That is it! You will begin receiving money form around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, this is an additional $25.00 for me. Now those 25 each make 200 MININUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each. This brings in an additional $125.00. Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00. Ok, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 people post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they receive 5 replies each. That just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 react, I will receive an additional $15,625.00!! With an investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remeber is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that Happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Anyway, it is only $6.00 for a chance at thousands. Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. You wouldn't want someone to cheat you the same way you may be cheating! HOW TO MAKE 1000'S FROM 6$! READ PLEASE! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ August 4, 2004 - 09:54 : TDobes This seems like a possibly useful patch for those stuck in an environment where they must use a proxy. (intranets?) I have no proxy set up at the moment with which to test, but +1 to the functionality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ December 3, 2004 - 12:47 : Steven If we use HTTP/1.1 (using the Host header), I think we can send exactly the same request to both a proxy and the real server. It might make the code a bit cleaner. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ January 26, 2005 - 05:01 : Steve Stock That's correct, HTTP/1.1 explicitly requires servers to accept an absolute URI in the request-line (which of course proxies already require). See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec5.html#sec5.1.2 for details. Note: a host header is still required. The drawback is all HTTP/1.1 applications must be able to accept the chunked transfer coding, see http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec4.html#sec4.4 (third paragraph above section 4.5). I don't know if Drupal supports this (doesn't look like it). While not as nice, for now it appears simpler to implement a proxy along the lines of this patch. My only suggestion would be to add a proxy section to the settings page instead of hardcoding the proxy host/port. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ February 4, 2005 - 05:23 : jhefmv24 Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/common.inc_3.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 -- View: http://drupal.org/node/9706 Edit: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/9706
