Problem's description

Hi,
I'm having a problem connecting and sending data from clients to the OCS server when the agent is located behind an http proxy.
If the agent contacts the server directly without going through the proxy, the connection works fine.

Here is the agent configuration :

server=https://inventory.xxxx.com/ocsinventory
ca=/etc/ocsinventory/cacert.pem
ssl=1
proxy=192.168.174.130:8888

Connection from client using openssl command works fine
openssl s_client -proxy 192.168.174.130:8888 -showcerts -connect inventory.xxxxx.com:443

FYI, liblwp-protocol-https-perl package is already installed

Thank your for you help !

Hi,

Did you installed LWP::Protocol::connect library ?
