Proxy settings for curl

    Hi,
    The server hosting my websites is behind a proxy and I had to configure WordPress to access the internet (WP_PROXY_HOST and WP_PROXY_PORT constants are defined in my wp-config.php file).

    Wordfence is unable to update the firewall rules and says :

    “Rule Update Failed
    No rules were updated. Please verify you have permissions to write to the /wp-content/wflogs directory.”

    The permissions are OK but I found that Wordfence does not seems to use the WP proxy parameters.

    In the wfWAFHTTPTransportCurl class (vendor/wordfence/wf-waf/src/lib/httpd.php) I found the comment “@todo Proxy settings” ??

    I just added these lines before $curlResponse = curl_exec($ch) :

    if (defined('WP_PROXY_HOST') && defined('WP_PROXY_PORT')) {
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, WP_PROXY_HOST.":".WP_PROXY_PORT);
}

    and the rules update works well now! But I can’t do that since the next update will erase the code I added…

    Do you plan to support the proxy settings in the near future?
