[smokeping-users] Re: Using proxy for Curl

[Kamran Siddiqui/NYLIC]

I played around with it more and got it to work. Perhaps it is meant to
work this way. What I did is passed the -x proxy:port Curl option to the
url directive and it worked beautifully. Here is a section from the config
that worked for me.

+ Curl
binary = /usr/local/bin/curl

++ Via-Proxy
menu = Via-Proxy
title = Web through Proxy
probe = Curl

+++ Yahoo
menu = www.yahoo.com
title = www.yahoo.com
host = www.yahoo.com
++++ PROBE_CONF
url =  -x 10.10.10.1:80 http://www.yahoo.com


This thing is simply awesome.

Thanks for the reply. It appears that currently there is no way to pass the
-x proxy:port option through the config to smokeping. I was hoping someone
may have already done the modification to Smokeping.pm to allow options
passed with either the probe or binary statements in the config file. I
don't know perl well enough to try this myself. If anyone out there has
made such modifications and is working for them and willing to share, I
would very much appreciate it.

Thanks
Kamran

In order to do that you would have to use curl's -x switch. Actually, you
would have to extend
Curl.pm in order to accomodate another probe-specific variable (proxy)
using the -x switch.
