Description

Though cxservices supports a proxy_url, chimerax.webservices makes no use of it. It should set it to the value of chimerax.core.core_settings.settings.https_proxy if that is not the empty string.

Just out of curiosity, what does https_proxy do?

comment:2 by pett, 3 years ago

Some sites don't let machines behind their firewall directly connect to the Internet. Those machines have to connect via a particular port on the firewall machine -- the "HTTPS proxy".

​As of this commit webservices checks if there's an HTTP or HTTPS proxy (if both are set it defaults to HTTPS) and if it finds one, sets it as the proxy for the cxservices API to use.
