Zimbra Web Proxy Setting

[Geoff]

Anyone know where this is set? The RSS feeds and web link preview will not work until I figure out where this done.

It uses the local browser settings for previews, its not done by zimbra

[Geoff]

Ah ok, that makes sense.

[Geoff]

Right, figured this out. It does not use the local browser settings at all. That was nonsense. To set the proxy for zimbra you need to do:

zmprov mcf zimbraHttpProxyURL http://user:pass@proxyhost:proxyport

See Bug 5615 and the wiki for more info.

[CyberNerd]

odd because:

 zmprov gcf zimbraHttpProxyURL

has no value http proxy set, nor does the per server config

 zmprov gas -v

I do get web previews - but only when the local browser is set to use a proxy. (proxy is forced here and zimbra is on the local domain) If I set my local browser not to use a proxy I still get zimbra cos its local but with no proxy set in my browser I don't get previews. Hence my suprise and confusion.

[Geoff]

Well perhaps it handles things differently for different browsers. I'm using Firefox here rather than IE?

Regardless, I still needed to set this to make RSS feeds work.
