Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, it is not possible to configure astra-cli
to connect to Astra DB clusters through an HTTP/s proxy.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add the possibility of setting environment variables or config parameters such as:
HTTPS_PROXY=http://someproxy.local:3088/
in either ~/.astrarc
or .env
to be picked up by astra-cli
Describe alternatives you've considered
proxychains
is an alternative workaround for now: https://github.com/rofl0r/proxychains-ng
Additional context
Certain enterprises secure their Production management hosts by requiring the use of a web proxy to reach the Internet. There is a pressing need to be able to connect to Astra DBs through jumphosts (i.e. bastion servers) where astra-cli
is installed.
