Hi All,
I work in a company that utilizes Acquia's enterprise service and as many others, all our servers are prevented to access the internet without authenticating to a proxy first.

Is that a way to use Acquia Connector through a proxy? Looking into the code, I saw calls to stream_socket_client and fsockopen when connecting to Acquia servers, at the moment I researching a way to patch the module to include proxy support, but if there is an easier solution or an existing patch, I would be happy to know.

Thanks!

Drupal 7 just received simple HTTP proxy support via #7881: Add support to drupal_http_request() for proxy servers (http not https) while greater proxy support (including HTTPS) is at #924498: Proxy https support for drupal_http_request() so for right now there isn't proxy support in Connector for 6 or 7 though it's a desired feature for sure. We'll be looking into options for this in the coming months.

Title: Proxy support » HTTPS Proxy support

I was able to get the connector to work behind our corporate proxy by adding the following in settings.php.

$conf['proxy_server'] = 'www-cache.my.proxy.co.uk';
$conf['proxy_port'] = '80';
define('ACQUIA_DEVELOPMENT_NOSSL', TRUE);

Downside is now that your details are not encrypted during transit, use at your own risk etc.

HTTPS proxy support in this module would be most welcome.
