How can we configure an https proxy that will be reach via http (and not https)?

    Proxy are giving me a hard time.


    Why can't we have a raw field to specify the proxy we need.

    Right now I can't configure the required proxy to make update work.


    How can I get the following line in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99openmediavault-proxy:

    Acquire::https::Proxy "http://<IP address>:<port>";


    In the past I was manually removing the unwanted "s" from the file to make it work.

    But the update seem to regenerate the file now which make the update timeout.



    Here is the output of the upgrade:

    Is there a way to comment out the regeneration of the apt proxy configuration file (99openmediavault-proxy) so I can finish this update?


    It would also be nice to configure docker's proxy.

    If you don't manually edit the docker configuration file to include proxy, you are not able to install Portainer (and any other containers which need to be get via a proxy).


    Thanks for any useful info I will get

    HTTPS is an extension of HTTP with encryption support. Due to this possibility, the security of users on websites, including their data, is increased, so I see no reason to give access via http.

    Please read: RE: https proxy settings in openmediavault with a http-proxy for https traffic

    Basically, there is no concept of HTTPS proxy. 2 concepts can fall under this term: You connect to the proxy using TLS and then use the HTTP CONNECT method to connect. The third-party does not see anything but TLS packets. The second option is you are connecting to a proxy without TLS. The third party sees all the HTTP headers: the CONNECT method, the host/port you are connecting to, and the authorization headers. On various resources where they provide lists of free and paid HTTPS proxies, such as ShiftProxy, they usually mean the second option.
