### Summary I try to use _proxy\_host_ and _proxy\_port_ System Settings, but the Package Manager doesn’t work behind a Proxy. Is it still active in MODX3? When looking into the code, it doesn’t seems so: [Code search results · GitHub](https://github.com/search?q=proxy_host+repo%3Amodxcms%2Frevolution&type=code&ref=advsearch&p=1) ### Step to reproduce Set Proxy via System Settings and try to install/update an Extra via Package Installer in the Manager. ### Observed behavior Package Installer don’t work with/without Proxy Settings and don’t get remote data. ### Expected behavior Package Installer should work with Proxy Settings to search and update Extras. ### Environment MODX 3.0.4, Apache, CURL active Example Script with CURL/file\_get\_contents works when set with Proxy options. ---

In MODX 2.x the system setting _proxy\_host_ was used by the class `modRestCurlClient`. > In MODX 3, `modRestClient` was [removed and replaced](https://docs.modx.com/3.x/en/getting-started/upgrading-to-3.0/breaking-changes). And it looks like the proxy settings are now ignored. ---

Thank you @halftrainedharry. I found it only here, where it uses CURL and not the new PSR-7 Service: [revolution/core/src/Revolution/Transport/modTransportPackage.php at f197da76b44645172dc3f0eb721961fd4f534c04 · modxcms/revolution · GitHub](https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/blob/f197da76b44645172dc3f0eb721961fd4f534c04/core/src/Revolution/Transport/modTransportPackage.php#L430) Maybe this must be refactored or deleted? 🤔 So for now i get some questions on this: - If the Proxy Settings aren’t avaible on MODX3, should we communicate it in the Docs or inside the System Settings Description? In my case, we upgraded from 2.6.5 to 3.0.4. If i know it earlier, maybe i only upgrade until 2.8.6 to use the Proxy without breaking Changes. - Is it possible to add the Proxy back to PSR-7? Maybe a question for @markh. - We run MODX on an Windows Apache Server locally as an Intranet Website and need to go through a Proxy for remote Requests. Maybe its oldschool to define the Proxy Settings inside MODX and would be better to add the Proxy on the Apache Level? But i don’t have any Experience on that. If anyone had, i’m very happy to get some ideas. ---

I’ve never had to use the proxy functionality so wouldn’t even know where to begin to test it, but [there do seem to be approaches out there using middleware](https://dev98.de/2019/06/19/request-data-through-a-proxy-with-guzzlehttp-psr-7-compliant/). ---

Thanks @markh! I update ParseX and UpgradeMODX to use Proxy inside PHP code. But this is not future proof and get deleted ob update 😀 For now we disable the Proxy to make MODX work again. I close this, because there are more important things to work on 😜 ---
