The search command ignore proxy settings

[mordillo123]

The "search" command ignore the HTTP_PROXY environment variable. I have done a very little (and crap) change in download.py file to enable this option and it works for me :-)
At line 28:

    # xmlrpclib_transport = xmlrpclib.Transport()
    class ProxiedTransport(xmlrpclib.Transport):
      def make_connection(self, host):
        self.realhost = host
        proxy = urlopen.get_proxy()
        if proxy: 
          proxy = proxy.lstrip("http://")
          h = httplib.HTTP(proxy)
        else: 
          h = httplib.HTTP(host)
        return h
      def send_request(self, connection, handler, request_body):
        connection.putrequest("POST", 'http://%s%s' % (self.realhost, handler))
      def send_host(self, connection, host):
        connection.putheader('Host', self.realhost)
    xmlrpclib_transport = ProxiedTransport()

based on last example at the end of page http://docs.python.org/library/xmlrpclib.html

It's possible to implement (in a proper way) this option?
Tnx :-)

I'm also being hit by this. I would suggest committing that patch to a local branch and sending a pull request.

duplicate of #395

[Gnarfoz]

Why has this issue been closed even though it contains a valid workaround for a 2+ year old issue?

[pfmoore]

Probably because it's a duplicate of #395, and you should look there for any further progress (there isn't much, admittedly).
