Hi,

I use drupal on an intranet, so the internet connections are made through a proxy,
Therefore, I installed this patch in my Drupal(for proxy http://drupal.org/node/735420), but the module still not working.

I used:

Debian Lenny
Apache 2.2
Php 5
Drupal 6.17
Weather 6.x-5.13

Drupal's Errors

file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: connect() failed: No route to host en /var/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/weather/weather.module en la línea 2087.

file_get_contents(ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/SABE.TXT) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Success en /var/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/weather/weather.module en la línea 2087.

Hi,

unfortunately, I cannot do anything about this, as I don't know what setup you use exactly. Please try to solve this within the bug report you've mentioned above #735420: Drupal 6 proxy server support. When you know how to solve the problem, feel free to post this here.

Regards,
Tobias

Well, the problem maybe is not directly related to the infamous #735420: Drupal 6 proxy server support, as from the reported errors and actual module code.

Let me clarify: the issue #735420 is related to the drupal function drupal_http_request that allows to change http requests adding support to proxy. Briefly, when the $proxy_not_required is TRUE and variables proxy_server and proxy_server are set ALL the requests are handled through the proxy (check the patches for details).

This module seems to use file_get_contents or curl or fsckopen directly.

So either you patch the module to add support for the proxy for file_get_contents using $context variable (check http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php#58758) or wait for the maintainer to change the module to handle requests with drupal_http_request. I don't know if this last option is possible indeed.

This patch change the module to handle http requests with drupal_http_request.

The patch doesn't apply to the ftp protocol.

Our proxy issue was caused by a drupal configuration under "Proxy Setting."
Inside /admin/settings/proxy the "Proxy host name" was pointing to the wrong server.

Once we redirected to the right server weather updates worked as expected.
