Configure Optigo Capture Tool to connect through HTTPS Proxy

Here are the instruction to configure the Optigo Capture Tool (software) on Windows to connect through an HTTPS Proxy. 

Pre-requisites:

• Optigo Capture Tool 3.1.2rc11 or later
• Proxy server address and port information
• Administrator privilege to the host (PC) running the Optigo Capture Tool

Instructions:

• Copy the following folders (e.g. using File Explorer)
    from C:\Program Files (x86)\Optigo Capture Tool\zephyrus\node\node_modules\npm\node_modules
    to C:\Program Files (x86)\Optigo Capture Tool\zephyrus\server\nodee_modules
  You may require Administrator privilege.
  

  • agent-base

  • https-proxy-agent

• Edit (e.g. using Notepad) this file to include the new code.
  C:\Program Files (x86)\Optigo Capture Tool\zephyrus\server\cloud\axios.js

  You may require Administrator privilege.
  

  const axios = require('axios');
  const https = require('https');
  const { HttpsProxyAgent } = require('https-proxy-agent');
  
  const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent('http://99.99.99.99:3128');
  
  // allow uploads to Optigo VBE with self-signed certificates
  https.globalAgent.options.rejectUnauthorized = false;
  
  const Axios = axios.create({
  timeout: 30000, // in ms
  httpsAgent: agent,
  });
  
  module.exports = Axios;

  • Replace 99.99.99.99 with the Proxy Server address
  • Replace 3128 with the Proxy Server port

• Make sure the server address in the Optigo Capture Tool, Cloudlink is set to FQDN WITHOUT the https:// in front (e.g. app.optigovn.com, app1.visualbacnet.com).

• Restart the OptigoCaptureTool service
