Can't sync with Connect

[SJanzen_]

Recently I have been having trouble syncing my customer's server with my project on Studio. They are using a proxy server, but I'm not sure what port Connect uses to sync my project. I am able to browse the web from the server, so clearly port 80 is open. Does anybody have any idea what port Connect uses? I have pasted the error message from the server log below. Thanks Stuart

Hi,

Please provide the version of your Nuxeo server, especially the nuxeo-connect-client version.

Default port is 443 (HTTPS), not 80. Note you can provide some proxy parameters to the Connect client.

[Julien_Eluard]

I do have the exact same issue when running a nuxeo in OpenShift.

[Julien_Eluard]

So after some digging it looks like this is due to a limitation of httpclient 3.x which forces a local socket binding on '0.0.0.0'. As OpenShift prevents this it fails.

[Florent_Guillau]

Julien, do you mean that therefore httpclient 3.x with its regular API cannot be used anywhere on OpenShift? I don't understand why connecting to a remote server would binds locally to 0.0.0.0. Can you share stack traces of what happens? Note that connecting to the Nuxeo Connect server should not require binding to a local port on the Nuxeo server.
