Thanks jtojnar,

I switched to master branch and modified helpers/WebClient.php to add 'proxy' in 'defaults' and now I can add and update feeds through squid proxy.

With version 2.18, I was also having some PDO issues that disappeared with the master branch:

selfoss.ERROR: PDO: near "0": syntax error

Could you try the latest build? It finally uses Guzzle for RSS spout.
Then you should be able to set proxy in https://github.com/SSilence/selfoss/blob/c83fbdfd6c5a3fe1e6a8c61f13aa16805d28d7cb/helpers/WebClient.php#L30 according to http://docs.guzzlephp.org/en/stable/request-options.html#proxy. Maybe we could even add a config key for this.

Just found opened issue #871
After fixing my SetEnv with the correct mod_env syntax, it still does not work.

SetEnv http_proxy http://proxyhost:3128/
SetEnv https_proxy http://proxyhost:3128/
SetEnv all_proxy http://proxyhost:3128/

I also tried with cliupdate.php and defined environment variables but still times out.

I'll try the fix described in #871.

Hi all,

I'm currently setting up my first selfoss installation but can't get it to download feeds using a forward proxy.

I have not seen configuration option in config.ini to define a forward proxy so I tried adding some environment variables in apache VirtualHost:

SetEnv http_proxy=http://proxyhost:3128/
SetEnv https_proxy=http://proxyhost:3128/

curl is supposed to check these variables and use the proxy if defined but updates fail because of timeout:

Does anyone use selfoss with a forward proxy?
If yes, how?
