> Hi there,
> Currently, I am having a problem regarding the need for proxy information to connect to Confluence Cloud (SaaS) from the Confluence connector.
> As you know, we can use Confluence Server (self-built environment) or use Confluence Cloud (SaaS).
> Using Confluence Server, you can set up a server (for example, located in the same place where ManifoldCF is running) so you may not need to use proxy information for the connection.
> However, for Confluence Cloud (SaaS), there will be cases where you need to set proxy information to be able to connect.
> I have checked in a few other connectors of ManifoldCF, there are a few connectors that support setting proxy information for the connection, for example: SharePoint, Jira, Slack, ...
> Therefore, I would like to suggest editing Confluence-v6's sourcecode (including Authority connector and Repository connector) so that we can have an option to set proxy information to use for connection to Confluence when needed.
> h3. +*Connector Name*+
>  - Confluence-v6 (including Authority connector and Repository connector)
> h3. +*Improvement Detail*+
>  - At the Confluence connection setting screen, add fields that allow the user to set proxy information (eg: proxyProtocol, proxyHost, proxyPort..).
> The proxy setting screen will look like below:
> !EditConnection.png!
>  - When connecting (call method `connect()`), use the set field values as proxy information.
> ※ This improvement applies to both the Authority Connector and the Repository Connector side.
> h3. +*Suggested source code (based on release 2.22.1)*+
> Because the content is edited in many files and the number of LOC is quite large, I will attach the patch file here, please check it.
