How to configure proxy for AI assistent ?

[pistata112]

When I am on VPN network I have to use proxy. I have proxy configuration, and it work for e.g. new version check.
But it doesn't work for AI asistent = Copilot. I when through GitHub authorization correctly, but now when I write a prompt it fails with network problem. Does AI asistent have its own configuration ? If yes, where ?

Root Cause: The AI assistant (both Copilot and OpenAI) does not respect DBeavers proxy settings because AbstractHttpAIClient creates an unconfigured HTTP client without proxy settings.

File: org.jkiss.dbeaver.model.ai/src/org/jkiss/dbeaver/model/ai/engine/AbstractHttpAIClient.java:18-22

Current code:

public AbstractHttpAIClient() {
    this.client = new MonitoredHttpClient(
        HttpClient.newHttpClient(),  // NO proxy settings
        this::mapHttpError
    );
}

Workaround: Until fixed, configure JVM proxy arguments:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy-host -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080
-Dhttps.proxyHost=proxy-host -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080

Fix Required: Modify AbstractHttpAIClient to accept a proxy-configured HttpClient and update all AI client instantiations.

Reference: Other DBeaver features (version checks) have proper proxy support via configured HTTP clients.

Hi @anntnzrb, thanks for your reply.

But what is the correct syntax for the command on Windows 11?
I have tried multiple variations, but none of them work (I am still getting connection errors)

e.g.
d:\usr\tools\dbeaver\dbeaver.exe -data "d:\usr\OneDrive\work\O2\DBeaverData" -vmargs -Dhttp.proxyHost=internet-proxy-s1.cz.o2 -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -Dhttps.proxyHost=internet-proxy-s1.cz.o2 -Dhttps.proxyPort=8080
