I played around with it more and got it to work. Perhaps it is meant to work this way. What I did is passed the -x proxy:port Curl option to the url directive and it worked beautifully. Here is a section from the config that worked for me.
+ Curl binary = /usr/local/bin/curl ++ Via-Proxy menu = Via-Proxy title = Web through Proxy probe = Curl +++ Yahoo menu = www.yahoo.com title = www.yahoo.com host = www.yahoo.com ++++ PROBE_CONF url = -x 10.10.10.1:80 http://www.yahoo.com This thing is simply awesome.

It appears that currently there is no way to pass the -x proxy:port option through the config to smokeping. I was hoping someone may have already done the modification to Smokeping.pm to allow options passed with either the probe or binary statements in the config file. I don't know perl well enough to try this myself. If anyone out there has made such modifications and is working for them and willing to share, I would very much appreciate it.

In order to do that you would have to use curl's -x switch. Actually, you would have to extend Curl.pm in order to accomodate another probe-specific variable (proxy) using the -x switch. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
