HTTP proxy

To let HTTP requests reach the outside world, we maintain a HTTP proxy in each datacenter. They are exposed using services entries of the form webproxy.<datacenter>.wmnet and are not meant to be used from labs instances.
As of 14th February 2017 the entries are:
| Service Name | Server | port |
|---|---|---|
| webproxy.eqiad.wmnet | install1002.wikimedia.org | 8080 |
| webproxy.codfw.wmnet | install2002.wikimedia.org | 8080 |
| webproxy.esams.wmnet | install1002.wikimedia.org | 8080 |
| webproxy.ulsfo.wmnet | install2002.wikimedia.org | 8080 |
You may set the $http_proxy environment variable to make many CLI scripts automatically use this proxy:
export http_proxy=http://webproxy.eqiad.wmnet:8080
If you need to send a request to an https url, do this:
export https_proxy=http://webproxy.eqiad.wmnet:8080
To set these variables for all your sessions, add the same lines to your ~/.profile file.
curl
If you are using curl, you could use the --proxy flag:
curl --proxy http://webproxy.eqiad.wmnet:8080 http://www.google.com
