eww using GET for https

eww using GET for https

[Simon Friedberger]

Hello List!


I am trying to figure out what is going on with my emacs setup at work.

I could not access marmalade and started digging.

By now I have installed the gnutls and libxml2 dlls and set the
http_proxy environment variable to the company proxy.

Now I get an

"Unsupported Request Method and Protocol"

when using

M-x eww
https://www.google.de

So I fired up wireshark and (I may have misread because it's a bit hard
to find the relevant stuff in a wireshark dump but) it looks like emacs
is sending a GET request for the https URL instead of a CONNECT. Now my
networking knowledge is rather limited but that might be wrong.

How should I proceed?


Regards,
Simon

  Change the proxy address and try:

    (setq url-proxy-services '(("http" . "192.168.2.2:8080")))

not sure what you mean by changing the proxy address. Since it's the
company proxy I can't change its address.
I can try setting url-proxy-services however, so far I tried with the
http_proxy environment variable.

Best,
Simon

  Yes, my mistake. You can try setting the 'url-proxy-services' variable.

HiSimon, 

Have you found a solution to this? 
I'm facing the exact same problem. I'm using eww in office, behind corporate proxy. I can open HTTP sites Okay but cannot open HTTPS sites.
