1584208 - Hard to find out about TASKCLUSTER_PROXY_URL

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Taskcluster :: General, enhancement)

Description

[James Graham [:jgraham]]

The TASKCLUSTER_PROXY_URL seems to be key to making decision tasks and other tasks that schedule further work. But it's hard to find out about it unless you are reading the environment variables page of the TC docs, which you wouldn't actually do unless you're already aware the solution to your problem is an environment variable.

It would particularly be nice for the client docs to explain various auth patterns; the Python docs in particular seem to assume that you already know how TC works here but want to know how to translate that into code. That's probably true of the initial userbase but isn't true of everyone who might be using it now.

Hopefully https://github.com/taskcluster/taskcluster/pull/2314 was worth the 4-month wait, James :)
