Running the Mobb CLI on a network that requires an outbound HTTP(S) proxy.
Symptoms
The CLI hangs or fails with connection/timeout errors on a network that requires an outbound HTTP(S) proxy.
Likely cause
The CLI's outbound requests aren't being routed through the corporate proxy.
Resolution
Set the standard proxy environment variables before running the CLI, for example:
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://<your-proxy-host>:<port>
export HTTP_PROXY=http://<your-proxy-host>:<port>If long-lived connections are dropped by the proxy/firewall, add the --polling flag so the CLI uses HTTP polling instead of WebSockets — see the Mobb CLI Troubleshooting Guide.
Re-run the command and, if it still fails, capture debug output and share it with support@mobb.ai.
The same proxy considerations apply to the Mobb Broker when it runs in a restricted network — see My broker can't reach the SCM.
