httpget behind a proxy

[Holger]

Hi,

I’ve read the documentation, the release notes and searched this forum but couldn’t find anything related to my problem. Maybe I missed any other resource I should have looked into…

I am using httpget with these lines:

HTTPGET=active:1,color:#dddd22,interval:600,timeout:10000,text:Externe IPv4,source:https://api.ipify.org HTTPGET=active:1,color:#dddd22,interval:600,timeout:10000,text:Externe IPv6,source:https://api64.ipify.org

1 2 3 4

HTTPGET=active:1,color:#dddd22,interval:600,timeout:10000,text:Externe IPv4,source:https://api.ipify.org HTTPGET=active:1,color:#dddd22,interval:600,timeout:10000,text:Externe IPv6,source:https://api64.ipify.org

On a box behind a proxy the result is

<null>

on other boxes with direct access to the internet the result is the resolved IP.

Any thoughts?

can you ping those hosts from behind the proxy?

[Holger]

I have the following facts for you:

– opening api.ipify.org and api64.ipify.org in a browser no matter if http: or https: results in the IP
– using api.ipify.org and api64.ipify.org in DI v3.2.4 no matter if http: or https: results in

<null>

– pinging api.ipify.org results in completely lost packets
– pinging api64.ipify.org results in completely received packets

[Glenn]

do you have the two dll files, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll in the directory with desktopinfo.exe? these are needed for http/s use.

also if you want to return your ipv6 address, wrap the host in square brackets thus:

source:https://[api64.ipify.org]

I don’t know. something to do with the Indy library.

[Holger]

yes these two dlls are at the same place as desktopinfo.exe

wrapping the host api64.ipify.org in square brackets in order to get IPv6 address doesn’t change anything at this specific box.
on another box w/o proxy, where both, IPv4 and IPv6 are working as expected, wrapping api64.ipify.org in square brackets results in

<no result>

weird.

Switch on the DEBUG logging mode and capture the log entries from those items.

log-level=DEBUG
