Matthias Niederhausen commented on WOOKIE-364:
----------------------------------------------
I think you grasped it quite right. The corporate proxy does indeed affect all
outbound requests from our network. An application can not access any web
resource without using the proxy.
What I do not understand is under which circumstances the inbound configuration
needs to be changed. When the browser requests a widget from the server, it
must already have the right configuration, otherwise it could not download the
widget in the first place. When the widget is then executed and requests some
service, must it not connect to the very same server, where Wookie resides? So
I don't see that this configuration ever needs to be done.
Aside from that, I think the solution you propose would be viable to solve the
problem.

> Affects Versions: 0.12.0, 0.13.0
> Environment: Windows7 x64, Java7 x32, corporate firewall & proxy

> When I set proxy settings in the widgetserver.properties file to use my
> corporate proxy, Wookie will not only use these settings for its internal
> ProxyClient, but also relay these settings to the client-side widgets, which
> then try to directly connect to my corporate proxy. Of course, due to
> cross-domain-access policies, this will fail and it also circumvents the
> Wookie proxy security.
