use plugin through proxy

[gmr]

I'll have to check into this. I've not developed behind a proxy and I am not sure of the Python standard library's use of the environment variable you set. Most likely if it's not respecting it, I'll have to add a proxy config section.

I got this working by manually adding proxy info to agent.py. Note that my https proxy needs you to talk to it via http so I forced this with an http://proxy

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/newrelic_plugin_agent/agent.py

line 179

    proxyDict = {
          "http"  : "myserver:787",
          "https" : "http://myserver:787"
        }

    try:
        response = requests.post(self.PLATFORM_URL,
                                 headers=self.http_headers,proxies=proxyDict,
                                 data=json.dumps(body, ensure_ascii=False))

Ideally, this should pickup the NEW_PROXY_HOST and NEW_PROXY_PORT env variables mentioned here (https://newrelic.com/docs/python/python-agent-configuration#environment-variables). I will likely update this unless you guys prefer fixing this yourselves a different way.

Would love a pull request. Ideally it would allow for both a configuration option in the YAML file and it would pick up the right env variables.

Is anyone working on a pull request to support proxies? I really need this, so if not, I can do it. Thanks.

[scottbecker]

I am not working on it anytime soon.

This proxy patch doesn't seem to work for me.

If I set the ENV var https_proxy, in log I can see:

INFO 2013-07-10 15:37:02 6714 MainProcess MainThread requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool _new_conn L202 : Starting new HTTP connection (1): proxy-dmz.mydomain.com (I hide real proxy name)

and then:

DEBUG 2013-07-10 15:37:03 6714 MainProcess MainThread requests.packages.urllib3.connectionpool _make_request L296 : "POST https://platform-api.newrelic.com/platform/v1/metrics HTTP/1.1" 501 1109
DEBUG 2013-07-10 15:37:03 6714 MainProcess MainThread newrelic_plugin_agent.agent send_components L185 : Response: 501: ( - and a message from proxy: MethodNotAllowed)

But if I use this patch I don't see anything in log: it seems that the parameter is ignored.

[gmr]

If your proxy server is returning 501, MethodNotAllowed, how is the parameter being ignored?
