HTTP Proxy support

It would be great to have support for HTTP/HTTPS proxies for people sitting behind corporate proxies who clone/push/pull to remote repositories. It looks like libgit2 is only supporting this in the winhttp transport backend and that there is an open issue libgit2/libgit2#2555 to support it by default.

When that is closed out on libgit2 and released we'll make sure to get that into NodeGit as well. Thanks!

As a followup, in the meantime if someone else stumbles upon that problem, using a tool like proxychains-ng https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng might ease the pain.

@johnhaley81

Closing this as we cannot address it at this time. As @johnhaley81 said, once it lands and is tagged in libgit2 it'll be available here.

@johnhaley81

Ok fair enough...I only created the issue because @johnhaley81 invited me to do so on gitter!

Sure, don't take it as a jab, I'm just trying to tidy up the issue tracker :)

I just wanted some kind of history :)

Labeling this, so we can zip through the closed stuff later and see if this has been addressed.

Looks like libgit2 merged in support for proxies! libgit2/libgit2#3110

Working on merging that now :)

@johnhaley81

@johnhaley81 Has this ever been merged? Or is the issue still open? Thanks!

Proxy support did get merged in, this can probably be closed.

@cbargren

Thanks @cbargren it's been merged in v0.15.0 but looks like the latest builds break:
babel --presets es2015 -d ./dist ./lib (no lib dir)

Has anyone managed to get this working behind a corporate proxy?

@hellosmithy

@hellosmithy not on our side - ended up having to use proxy exports and native git commands as a workaround until a stable release.

@cbargren

@cbargren and @implausible were working on getting something going here but ran into some bigger issues.

@implausible

Yeah, unfortunately proxy support is only implemented in the curl and openSSL transport streams, neither of which are currently used by NodeGit. @implausible knows a little more, but NodeGit needs to be able to use one of those for us to be able to utilize libgit's proxy support. It also needs to be fixed in NodeGit(the generated code isn't working properly), but that should be much simpler than the curl/openSSL issues.

This is now fixed on master.

I've been trying to use this (proxyOpts on push) but don't seem to be doing something correctly. Can someone provide an example of how to use proxy with un/pw in a push? Don't see any tests that show it either.

To be clear, the credentials callback is never invoked.
I'm using 0.19.0. My proxyOpts passed into pushOptions is as follows:

      proxyOpts : {
        url : 'http://myproxy.country.org.com:745',
        type : 2,
        credentials : function() {
          return git.Cred.userpassPlaintextNew( 'MyId', 'MyPassword );
        },
        version : 1
      }

@clearly is it solved??
