Configurations required when using proxy servers

If you have configured your QoreStor instance to use one or both of the Linux exports below, the QoreStor Watcher service will not be able to function properly as watcher communications will be sent to the proxy.

	export http_proxy=http://<hostname>:<port>
	export https_proxy=http://<hostname>:<port>

To ensure proper operation, you must also include the no_proxy export.

	export no_proxy="localhost, 127.0.0.1"

NOTE: In order for these configurations to persist after a system reboot, they must be entered into /etc/environment.
