bug report for Linux client?

[oz42]

How can I report a bug in the Linux client?

netstat says:

10.0.8.2:45176 65.254.110.245:8080 SYN_SENT 980/FAHClient

This means that environment variables like https_proxy or HTTPS_PROXY are ignored.

FAHClient might not respond to environment variables like HTTPS_PROXY, but that's not really a "bug". It's just the lack of a feature.

There are, however, client options for using an HTTP proxy:

Code: Select all

Network:
  proxy <string=>
    Set proxy for outgoing HTTP connections

  proxy-enable <boolean=false>
    Enable proxy configuration

  proxy-pass <string=>
    Set password for proxy connections

  proxy-user <string=>
    Set user name for proxy connections

The configuration window in FAHControl ("Advanced Control") says this in reference to the built-in proxy support:

The Folding@Home client currently only supports basic and digest authentication. Specifically NTLM, SOCKS, and SSL/TLS proxies are not supported.

If you want to use other proxy types like SOCKS, perhaps look into something like tsocks or proxychains.
