I do quite some mileage locally through work (well, I do normally, but not so much just at the moment…) and have a robust process for extracting geotagged images from my dashcam footage.
Unfortunately, our corporate IT setup includes a proxy server for internet access, and due to this particular setup, does not set the proxy system-wide.
I could use the web uploader, but it would be much more efficient to use the mapinfo_tools utility. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to use the proxy. Would it be possible to add proxy support?
(Alternative suggestions of course welcomed! Windows 10, Powershell or cmd.exe)
It might be worthwhile asking if the corporate IT people would make a host exclusion for you? That was a common request when I was in IT management that only needed coding in the firewall rules.
You’re right, that would be the ‘best’ option, unfortunately they’re not keen to support anything other than software supplied by them. They’re rushed off their feet at the moment too, as everyone’s working from home!
I would also be very interested in understanding if it was somehow possible to configure the mapillary_tools.exe to use a proxy server to load the images. It can be done ?
Hi there @protezionecivilefvgr - there is a discussion around using a proxy for applications that don’t have built-in proxy support on SuperUser which might be helpful for you.
mapillary_tools has built‑in proxy support via libcurl. You can use libcurl’s [protocol]_PROXY, ALL_PROXY, NO_PROXY environment variables to configure proxies for mapillary_tools. And, it works on Windows too.
