concrete behind proxy

Permalink
I am developing an intranet site using c5. We are sitting behind a proxy, so when the dashboard loads, the RSS "Latest News" is causing a long dashboard load time. I guess it finally times out and loads the rest of the page fine.

I encountered the same problem when using MODx cms and was able to put some proxy info in a config file to fix it.

Is there a way to tell c5 to use a proxy?

If not, how can I disable the latest new and maybe replace it wish something else.

I have a similar roadblock.

The Picnik integration and C5 news update module in dashboard both need to make outgoing web requests.

Seems like C5 should have a setting for outgoing proxy connections.
I have never seen a setting like that, but it would be nice to have.
I believe this would be handled in the cURL/fopen library at the time that the connections are made.

There MAY also be an acceptable iptables-based solution to the problem.
Any thoughts by C5 developers would be welcome.

I would think that this must have been encountered before, given their hosting solutions business.

There is currently no way to add proxy settings for connecting a site to our community. When you purchase add-ons you can download and install them by unzipping them in your packages directory. A little more work, but not terrible.

I tried this, you cannot download something in the Licences.

I don't know what to do
