#1639 Connect via Proxy

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: google_w...@it-netservice.de

What is the problem that needs to be solved (required)?
Connecting via Proxy is not possible. (Or dunno where to edit/save)

What is the idea in abstract terms (optional)?
Connect to DB-servers outside of a dmz and through non-transparent proxies.

Example workflow using the new feature (optional)?
input+save+use

What is a practical way to implement this idea (optional)?
Two possible solutions:
I:    Always use Proxy Protocol + IP/host + port except of the following
adresses with wildcards (like: localhost, 127.0.*, *.google.de,...)
II:   Settings for each saved session (advantage: posibility to add the
proxy settings inside the session-manager directly.)

HINT: Solution I is hard to configure if you can't access a db directly
(without proxy). Because I didn't find a way to enter the Heidi-main-window
without being connected to a db. The settings are only available via
front-manager, which is hidden on startup. And abort quits the program and
ESC-key too. So how can anyone enter the settings to set up a proxy if the
proxy-config is inside the settings???

I don't know how connecting through a proxy would look like. Can you explain,
probably at a lower level, using PHP/mysql_connect() for example?

I have same problem.
I'm behind proxy and here i don't have MySQL server.
So, what i need to do, is to set up proxy in settings.
But, to enter setting i have to be connected with db.
This is loop, to connect via proxy i have to have working connection.
