Mining through HTTP/HTTPS proxy

[heydavid525]

Really appreciate the work done here. I have machines that can only access internet through an http/https proxy. It doesn't seem that this feature is available out of box, but I'm happy to implement this feature and make a pull request if someone can give me pointers on which file I should look at.

Thank you!

How do you used the proxy? Can't you just specify HTTP URL of your proxy instead of the mining pool address?

Thanks for the quick reply. The proxy server itself cannot run any command (geth etc), so I have to rely on public pools through stratum. As a result, I'm stuck on the following connection step:

10:40:02|ethminer  Connecting to stratum server eu1.ethermine.org:4444

So I just need to get stratum to connect through http/https proxy to get this to work.

Or would it be easier to go through http proxy with -F url?
