-------------------------------------

             Summary: Document how the fetcher can reach across a proxy connection.
                 Key: MESOS-4130
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4130
             Project: Mesos
          Issue Type: Documentation
          Components: fetcher
            Reporter: Bernd Mathiske


The fetcher uses libcurl for downloading content from HTTP, HTTPS, etc. There is no source code in the pertinent parts of "net.hpp" that deals with proxy settings. However, libcurl automatically picks up certain environment variables and adjusts its settings accordingly. See "man libcurl-tutorial" for details. See section "Proxies", subsection "Environment Variables". If you follow this recipe in your Mesos agent startup script, you can use a proxy. 

We should document this in the fetcher (cache) doc (http://mesos.apache.org/documentation/latest/fetcher/).
