Atom: Use existing HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY variables

Created on 2 Dec 2015 · 3Comments · Source: atom/atom

I am using Atom on a company Windows 7-laptop that is behind a proxy when at work and unproxied when at home. I am using e.g. git via MINGW64 (the bash that comes with Git for Windows) and have a little script to toggle proxy settings on and off. It basically sets HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY, which is recognized by git, bower and npm.

Unfortunately apm doesn't seem to recongize those variables, as I get Request for package information failed: connect ETIMEDOUT when running apm update from MINGW64 while behind corporate proxy, no matter if proxy settings are declared or not.

This is my .bashrc with the proxy toggle script:

function proxy_on(){
   export HTTP_PROXY="http://$PROXY_SERVER:$PROXY_PORT"
   export HTTPS_PROXY="$HTTP_PROXY" FTP_PROXY="$HTTP_PROXY" ALL_PROXY="$HTTP_PROXY" \
      NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1" \
      GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
   echo -e "\nProxy-related environment variables set."
}

function proxy_off(){
   variables=( "HTTP_PROXY" "HTTPS_PROXY" "FTP_PROXY" "ALL_PROXY" \
      "NO_PROXY" "GIT_CURL_VERBOSE" "GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY" )
   for i in "${variables[@]}"; do unset $i; done
   echo -e "\nProxy-related environment variables removed."
}

proxy_on

and this is my .atomrc, but having this line or not doesn't make a difference:

strict-ssl = false

This was fixed in https://github.com/atom/apm/pull/447 and will be included in 1.3 - you can confirm with the beta release if you'd like - it's available at https://github.com/atom/atom/releases
