Proxy error 400 when loading twitter feed

1

Xibo 1.7.7 CMS on a ubuntu machine, connecting to twitter through an authenticated proxy. I’m able to reach twitter from the command line using curl, but the error log shows the following (edited for privacy)

I have the proxy set in /etc/environment and /etc/bash.bashrc, as well as the network settings page in the Xibo CMS. I’ve also tried multiple combinations, as the password contains special characters.

You may need to configure your proxy to allow unauthenticated access to the CMS’s IP address. I’m not aware that Xibo CMS supports an authenticated proxy.

I’ll see if I can do that. I would like to point out that the network panel in the CMS has an option to set the username/password for a network proxy.

Oh right. Apologies.

In that case, it’s probably as you suggest something to do with special characters in the password then. They get run through a sanitizer so it’s likely that.
