Is it possible to implement the possibility to use a proxy url to download the vendor oui-file?

Thanks

Based on the existing code for this TA (https://github.com/thatfrankwayne/TA_oui-lookup) its using the python requests library, so therefore it should be possible to implement a proxy for this with some code changes.

There are no contact details for the author ( @frankwayne ) in the app so I would recommend raising an issue on GitHub with the feature request and then hopefully it can be worked in to a future version.

Hello, @LoMueller, and thanks, @livehybrid.

My contact information is in the TA's README and default/app.conf.

I am leaving for a trip this week, but I will be back on August 18. I can add a configuration file to set up a proxy for Python. Please send me a reminder after the 18th, @LoMueller, and I will try to get that done for you.

Hi Frank,
I just found a quick-fix with inline-code enhancements in file but appreciate it using a configfile as mentioned.

/opt/splunk/etc/apps/TA_oui-lookup/bin/get-oui-table.py

proxy_host = 'localhost:1234' # host and port of your proxy

OUI_URL = "https://standards-oui.ieee.org"

req = urllib.request.Request(OUI_URL)

req.set_proxy(proxy_host, 'http')

req.add_header("User-agent", USER_AGENT)

Enjoy your vacation!
