Proxies defined in ionic.project do not work behind a corporate proxy with authentication

[jeandat]

My situation is simple and I presume very common.

I work in a company and as always there is a proxy.
So I have to configure my laptop and all my frameworks, apps, etc. like npm, git, … in order to make them pass that proxy.

Everything works except one thing : the proxy feature of ionic serve.

Proxy configuration is good inside ionic.project because I can see via chrome dev tools the url is good. I receive that kind of error : "Error: connect ETIMEDOUT".

If I do a curl … command on ionic server with that kind of url for instance http://localhost:8100/api…, I receive an html error page from my corporate proxy.

My guess is that ionic's proxy is not using any credentials defined via PROXY, http_proxy, … and other environment variables. Other ionic commands like ionic start … works well but not this one.

My proxy require a login/pwd.

I'm using ionic 1.1.1.

The only solution I found is to use tethering on my mobile in order to not be on a network protected by a proxy. It works because my backend is accessible from internet. But this not a good solution.

Any hint or solution ?

Thanks a lot.

My corporate proxy does not require login/pwd and I'm still seeing the same issue. It seems that the internal proxy that runs with ionic serve is not honoring the PROXY, http_proxy, or https_proxy environment variables at all when it forwards requests to the server.

My environment:

> ionic info

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.4.0
Gulp version:  CLI version 3.9.0
Gulp local:   Local version 3.9.0
Ionic Version: 1.1.1
Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.12

Having same issue with trying 'ionic upload' getting:

>ionic upload
Uploading app....
There was an error trying to upload your app. upload.js:276
    response.setEncoding('utf8');
            ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'setEncoding' of undefined

My corp firewall DOES require login with proxy and are set in PROXY, http_proxy, or https_proxy environment variables same as @johnmcase

> ionic info

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 5.4.1
Gulp version:  CLI version 3.9.0

Exactly same issue! @phillyDesignr Is there any way to make it work?

Turn off your proxy settings from Internet Explorer and Windows Settings

Can't do that on a Mac ;)

I replaced the form-data in C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\form-data with the one recommended (above) and also added it in my local project folder as well C:\Users\me\Downloads\myapp\node_modules\form-data yet the problem still persists. Any ideas why?

[SamuelKlein]

Linux.

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/
rm -rf form-data
git clone  https://github.com/SamuelKlein/form-data

[jacobjrwhite]

Meaning that this fix does not work on Windows?

Thanks for the detailed feedback and apologies for the delay on this. It seems there's enough demand for this to be implemented so I've scheduled it for the next milestone.

[jeandat]

BIP BIP. Very glad to hear that.

@mlynch Looks like there is an open PR to fix this issue in proxy-middleware (which is the proxy tool that the cli depends on). gonzalocasas/node-proxy-middleware#57

I am afraid that the project has not seen any movement for over a year.
