[BUG]: dellemc.openmanage 8.2.0 ignores NO_PROXY

[sbeyermann]

Bug Description

In our environment we need to use a proxy to access public internet resources. Our Dell OpenManage Enterprise installation however can be reached directly and not via the proxy server. Therefore on our machines we have the http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, https_proxy, HTTPS_PROXY, no_proxy and NO_PROXY environment variables defined. http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, https_proxy and HTTPS_PROXY point to our proxy server while no_proxy and NO_PROXY contains proxy bypass exceptions for internal resources in the format .company.com

With dellemc.openmanage modules 8.0.0 and 8.1.0 this worked fine and our ansible host was able to communicate with our Dell OpenManage Enterprise installation. Unfortunately with dellemc.openmanage 8.2.0 we receive the following error message:

<urlopen error _ssl.c:975: The handshake operation timed out>

I did some troubleshooting and for me it looks like the ome.py in version 8.2.0 does a DNS lookup of the URL first and then connects to the IP address of the Dell OpenManage installation instead of the DNS FQDN. Therefore our proxy bypass exceptions do not match anymore and the dellemc.openmanage tries to contact our OME through our proxy which fails.

As a workaround I added the IP address of our OME installation to the NO_PROXY environment variable as well and afterwards dellemc.openmanage is able to contact OME again.

Steps to Reproduce

• Have a network environment which requires a proxy to access the internet
• Have a local Dell OME installation that needs to be accessed directly, not via proxy
• Have local domain names excluded from proxy by setting no_proxy or NO_PROXY environment variables, e.g. .company.com
• Have dellemc.openmanage 8.2.0 installed
• Run above task
• Observe connections from ansible host to proxy trying to access IP address from OME in tcpdump

Expected Behavior

Connections to the domain name of the OME installation will honor proxy bypass exceptions and be created directly (as in dellemc.openmanage 8.0.0 or 8.1.0

Actual Behavior

dellemc.openmanage 8.2.0 tries to access the OME system through proxy because IP addresses proxy bypass exceptions are not set in no_proxy or NO_PROXY environment variables

@sbeyermann, thanks for submitting the issue. We are analyzing this one and accordingly pick it up for a fix in future release.

[sachin-apa]

@sbeyermann Can you please help me verifying a changes.
Please replace the code in ome.py from line 106 - 114 with the below code.

host_ipaddress = ipaddress.ip_address(self.hostname)
if host_ipaddress.version == 6:
    self.hostname = "[{0}]".format(self.hostname)

Attached the file for a reference.

@sachin-apa Thank you for picking up this issue. I replaced the original dellemc.openmanage 8.2.0's ome.py with the file you provided. Unfortunately this results in the following error:
