XDebug remote support [message #46819]

Hello,

A while ago I submitted the following feature enhancement request on
bugzilla:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=200944

There has been no reply to it yet but I'm still really wondering what
the feasability is of such an enhancement. Is there anybody here on the
newsgroup who might be able to shed some light onto the question? :)

Regards,

Marijn van Zon.

There is the concept of a proxy within DBGp (The protocol used by XDebug).
This allows you to set up a proxy server that receives the debug info from
the web server then relays it to a registered IDE with that proxy. Communication
with the proxy can be via a port that is open on the firewall so it may be able
to solve your problem. You state you want SSH connectivity so it is important to
have secure comms with the proxy ?

Thanks for your answer. While fiddling around today I realized I could
easily setup a remote SSH tunnel to forward the connection to XDebug
locally. It still does not fully function (haven't fiddled around much)
but it should do the trick to get it working.
On another note I get an error when opening the Preferences and changing
the debugger settings (like changing the listening port). It's just "see
log for more information" however I do not know where the log file is
located (running the CVS from the 22nd, can try upgrading later to see
if it's still around).

As for secure communication is not a requirement, however it seemed to
me that it might be the easiest solution to run programs remotely and
with the tunneling even to forward it locally and secure communication
is never a bad thing :).

It'd be nice if it wasn't neccesary to have an open ssh connection next
to Eclipse only for the debug forwarding.

The reason also why I suggested it is that if RSE has an API that allows
you to control some of its connections it would seem to me that it might
not even be that much work to add this type of functionality.

Regards,

Marijn.
