Summary: Suggestion for adding function for proxy configuration
for connector of Confluence-V6
Key: CONNECTORS-1737
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1737
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nguyen Huu Nhat

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. +*Source Code Modification*+
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.
