1 Some ikiwiki plugins make outgoing HTTP requests from the web server:
3 * [[plugins/aggregate]] (to download Atom and RSS feeds)
4 * [[plugins/blogspam]] (to check whether a comment or edit is spam)
5 * [[plugins/openid]] (to authenticate users)
6 * [[plugins/pinger]] (to ping other ikiwiki installations)
8 If your ikiwiki installation cannot contact the Internet without going
9 through a proxy, you can configure this in the [[setup file|setup]] by
10 setting environment variables:
13 http_proxy: "http://proxy.example.com:8080"
14 https_proxy: "http://proxy.example.com:8080"
16 no_proxy: ".example.com,www.example.org"
18 Note that some plugins will use the configured proxy for all destinations,
19 even if they are listed in `no_proxy`.
21 To avoid server-side request forgery attacks, ensure that your proxy does
22 not allow requests to addresses that are considered to be internal.
