owncloudcmd ignores --httpproxy

[tsteub]

Expected behaviour

Connection to owncloud server should use proxy

Actual behaviour

Proxy argument --httpproxy is ignored.
owncloudcmd tries to contact server directly.

Steps to reproduce

1. Call owncloudcmd -n --httpproxy http://proxy:port /localdir https://server.example.com/owncloud

Server configuration

Does not matter in this case.

Client configuration

Client version: 2.4.0

Operating system: Ubuntu 16.04

OS language: English

Qt version used by client package (Linux only, see also Settings dialog): 5.6.2

Client package (From ownCloud or distro) (Linux only): from owncloud

Installation path of client:
/usr/bin/owncloudcmd symbolic link to /opt/ownCloud/ownCloud/bin/owncloudcmd

@tsteub Did your proxy option have the form --httpproxy http://host:port - there is no error message if the proxy can't be read (I'll fix that) and the "http://" is mandatory for example. Also, localhost connections don't use the proxy: that's a decision inside Qt unfortunately.

[ckamm]

I've also found a small bug where the very first call was done before the proxy was set up. This might have caused your issue.

[tsteub]

Yes, the proxy is specified in the correct format: http://proxy.tomas.local:3128
The owncloud server used is not within my private network.
After starting owncloudcmd netstat shows a "SYN_SENT" to port 443 of that server which is blocked by my firewall.

[ckamm]

@tsteub If you like you could try the nightly 2.4.1 from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/isv:ownCloud:community:nightly/owncloud-client which should have my patch.

[tsteub]

@ckamm : 2.4.1 nightly build works perfectly. Thank you.

[mariolanno]

Sorry,

I have the same problem...
I put this command:

owncloudcmd --httpproxy 'http://domain\user@password:proxy.domain.priv:8083' --trust -u USER -p PASS /root/.owncloud/ https://owncloud.domain.com

And the output is:

FINISHED WITH STATUS QNetworkReply::NetworkError(OperationCanceledError) "Connection timed out"

What's wrong?

Thanks

Mario

Hey @mariolanno; are you using 2.4.1 nightly from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/isv:ownCloud:community:nightly/owncloud-client? Check with owncloudcmd --version and upgrade your client version if needed.

Thanks!

[mariolanno]

[root@machine ~]# owncloudcmd --version
ownCloud version 2.4.0 (build 8911)

@mariolanno here: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=isv:ownCloud:community:nightly&package=owncloud-client are the install instructions in case you need them; e.g. for Ubuntu 16.04:

$ sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community:/nightly/Ubuntu_16.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud-client.list"
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade owncloud-client

[mariolanno]

I have RHEL 6.7

Thanks

[mariolanno]

$ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
$ wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/community:/nightly/CentOS_6/isv:ownCloud:community:nightly.repo

$ yum upgrade owncloud-client

Right?

[mariolanno]

I cannot test it now.
You can confirm that this upgrade resolves the problem and that command works fine?

Thanks

Mario

[mariolanno]

I upgraded it but the following error occurred

01-16 17:30:12:271 [ fatal default ]: Could not read httpproxy. The proxy should have the format "http://hostname:port".
Aborted (core dumped)

[SamuAlfageme]

@mariolanno by reading your previous comment, there might be a problem with your proxy hostname: http://domain\user@password:proxy.domain.priv:8083' . Is it correct? The \ might be behind the crash.

[mariolanno]

the proxy address is correct, infact I put this when I set handly
export https_proxy='http://domain\user:[email protected]:8083'

OwnCloud would the format in:

http://domain\user@password:proxy.domain.priv:8083

[mariolanno]

Hi,
I solved in other method, but I cannot understand how I can upload only files located in a specific dir.
For example, I would upload all files located in /opt/own

If I put the following command

owncloudcmd --trust -u username -p password /opt/ownc https://myowncloud.domain/owncloud

I download all content from owncloud, how can I upload files located under /opt/own ?

Thanks

Mario

[SamuAlfageme]

@mariolanno Neat! was it an issue with the proxy address in the end?

how I can upload only

owncloudcmd is a syncing client, that's why it works in both directions. For upload-only behavior I can suggest using cadaver. If you have further questions you can reach us in https://central.owncloud.org/.

Thanks!

[mariolanno]

Thanks Samuel,

I tested in webdav and works fine.
Thanks for you suggestion, I will try cadaver.

Thanks a lot

Mario
