I am attempting to publish Sphinx documentation on an intranet Confluence page which has a server URL similar to the following: https://DomainName.CompanyName.TopLevelDomain
When I run python -m sphinx -b confluence . /confluence -E -a in the terminal, I enter my username and password and then get the following 403 proxy error:
sphinxcontrib.confluencebuilder error:
---
Invalid Confluence URL detected
An issue has been detected when trying to communicate with the
configured Confluence instance. Ensure the instance is running and
inspect that the configured Confluence URL is valid:
https://DomainName.CompanyName.TopLevelDomain
(details: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='https://DomainName.CompanyName.TopLevelDomain', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /rest/api/space?spaceKey=<MySpaceKey>&limit=1 (Caused by ProxyError('Unable to connect to proxy', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 403 Forbidden'))))
I tried adding confluence_proxy = 'http://my-proxy:port/' to my conf.py and got the same error. How can I avoid the proxy error?
