Adobe Remote Update Manager - Specify proxy as paramter

The RemoteUpdateManager.exe allows you to pass it proxyUsername and proxyPassword parameters, but doesn't allow you to pass it a proxy host/port. Adding --ProxyHost and --ProxyPort parameters would allow us to use an explicit proxy, rather than relying on the RUM exe to detect the proxy.

 

We're in a highly locked down environment behind a firewall that does not support wildcarded URLs, so it's not possible for us to exclude *.adobe.com, for example, and allow this traffic to go direct.

 

This issue came up during a support call. We use a proxy PAC file hosted on a remote web server and also specify the proxy using Netsh, but find that sometimes the Remote Update Manager will ignore these and attempt a direct connection, so this would solve this issue.
