Hey all,
I seem to have encountered a bit of an issue when using the VMWare View Client on my CentOS desktop environment.
All outbound internet access is configured to use a proxy, this is defined within *_proxy environment variables, gsettings (Gnome) and /etc/environment
In each location, I have configured a list of hosts/IPs that are internal to the network and thus should bypass the proxy, this is working great for everything except for the View client.
As per: VMware KB: VMware Horizon View Client cannot connect to a View Connection Server host in a proxy server environment I have the broker address set within "NO_PROXY" and have verified I can connect to it over HTTPS in my webbrowser. When attempting to connect using the View client, it instantly fails with "Error: A network error occurred" and I see a matching hit on the proxy server.
I'm a bit stumped as to why the View client is not bypassing the proxy, as a test I set up Nginx on my workstation as a reverse proxy and tried to get the View client to connect to https://127.0.0.1, an address that is also configured in "NO_PROXY", this also fails and I see the recorded hit on the proxy server.
This seems like a bug to me as the client is documented to pull its no proxy values from the environment variables yet in my case, certainly isn't doing so.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any ideas on the fix?
I am running VMWare Horrizon Client 3.5.0 (Build 2999900)
