Imperative

• Enhancement: Added ProfileInfo.profileManagerWillLoad function to verify the credential manager can load. #2111
• Enhancement: Added support for proxy servers using a proxy http agent. Supports the usage of the environment variables HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY (not case sensitive).
  • If any of these environment variables is set and depending how the Zowe session is configured for http or https, the REST client instantiates an appropriate http agent.
  • If the z/OS system uses self-signed certificates then the proxy server must be configured to accept them.
  • If the proxy server itself is configured with self-signed certificates then the user needs to either import these certificates on their workstation, use rejectUnauthorized in their Zowe profile, or use the (not recommended) nodejs variable NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0.
  • Zowe also looks for the environment variable NO_PROXY. These work with a simple comma separated list of hostnames that need to match with the hostname of the Zowe profile.
