Configure Heroku with proxy

Question

I’m trying to start using Heroku to test a web java app I made, I downloaded Heroku’s Toolbelt but when it comes to logging in it launches a Unable to connect to Heroku API, Please check internet Connectivity and Try Again.

Here where work is used a proxy and as is said on the site of Heroku:

Note that if you’re Behind a firewall that requires use of a proxy to connect with External HTTP/HTTPS services, you can set the HTTP_PROXY or HTTPS_PROXY Environment variables before running the Heroku command.

I tried to add the proxy to the environment variables but I keep getting the same error. Someone has already gone through this?

Answer 1

Much as in the case this question in English at this link, it is possible that the proxy through which you try to connect is blocking the TCP 22 port used for SSH on Unix systems. As such a port is not commonly used by layman’s applications, even on windows systems, typical firewalls on workspaces are configured to prevent connections through it.
