Bug: PROXYHOST, PROXYPORT

I have defined in TWikiPreferences:

• Set PROXYHOST = www-cache.tu-chemnitz.de
• Set PROXYPORT = 8080

This doesn't work. As I see in my Proxylogs there seems to be bad URLs for a Proxy. In net.pm you only only change the host for the needed conection not the URL. I see a GET /wiki/... HTTP/1.1 an not the needed GET http:///wiki/... HTTP/1.1.

I think this is not correct.

My patch: add the line

        $req = "GET http://$theHost:$thePort$theUrl HTTP/1.1\r\n";

to get this code:

    if($proxyHost && $proxyPort) {
        $req = "GET http://$theHost:$thePort$theUrl HTTP/1.1\r\n";
        $theHost = $proxyHost;
        $thePort = $proxyPort;
    }

This fix is insufficient for the majority of cases. Also this bug had an ImplementationDate - which was wrong - it hadn't been implemented in the TWiki CVS tree. This patch is a partial solution that needs to be combined with the solution for a very, very similar problem described in ProxiedIncludesBrokenImplementationBug . The thing that misses stupidly (I can say that, I wrote the other one ) is the remote server port number! This patch needs to be merged with the other to form a full fix.

I'm marking this a BugDuplicate (even though it was logged first) since the other page contains a patch that matches the PatchGuidelines, and fixes a few other problems at the same time.
