====== Overview ======

Since we are blocked by several akamai content delivery systems, we need a proxy to resolve the issue.

For the ordinary shops we use a tiny proxy that is located at:

<code>
v22019026221283999.supersrv.de
</code>
at port

<code>
27105
</code>
Some shops still blocking us, like ASOS and there we need shifter to solve the issue.

The full proxy URLs and credentials are located in the git:

https://git.picalike.corpex-kunden.de/picalike/image_cloud/-/blob/master/docker-compose/ice_tea.env

The monitoring script is adjusted to include the host via check_proxy


===== Configuration =====

Please note that the configuration is optimized for throughput and thus, timeout values should be 5-15 secs. The default is 600 secs which would block a lot of resources. Plus, always use basic-auth with a strong password.


===== Details =====

The tinyproxy is 'secured' via basic authentication user+password and it uses a random port 21705.

A full configuration file can be found here: https://git.picalike.corpex-kunden.de/incubator/swiss-army-knife/-/tree/master/tinyproxy

To reload the service without kill and exec, use HUP:

<code>
kill -HUP main_tinyproxy_pid
</code>

===== List of blocked domains =====

Whenever a 403 is returned for the download -image cloud- the domain is routed to tinyproxy. To get a list of all domains use:

<code>
grep ": CONNECT" /home/picalike/proxy/tinyproxy.log |cut -d':' -f5|sort -u
</code>

===== Service =====

The restart is described in

<code>
~/proxy/README.md
</code>

===== TODO =====

We need to keep an eye on the load of the host, since it is an ordinary frontend (v3).
