[galaxy-dev] proxy settings?

[Smithies, Russell]

Hi Nate,
My "solution" was a bit of a hack and there may be better ways of doing it (I haven't read all the docs yet - just started with Galaxy last week)
Python is not my strong suit and there may be more elegant ways, but here's how I usually connect thru our proxy:

----------------------------------
proxy_info = {
    'user' : 'DOMAIN\\username',
    'pass' : 'thisismypassword',
    'host' : "proxy.yoyodyne.com",
    'port' : 8080
}
# build a new opener that uses a proxy requiring authorization
proxy_support = urllib2.ProxyHandler({"http" : "http://%(user)s:%(pass)s@%(host)s:%(port)d" % proxy_info})
opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support, urllib2.HTTPHandler)

# install it
urllib2.install_opener(opener)

#then open the page with urllib2
page = urllib2.urlopen( cur_URL )
----------------------------------

I was in a hurry so tweaked data_source.py,  fetch.py,  genomespace_file_browser.py,  ucsc_proxy.py, and  upload.py but it would make more sense to read the proxy_info from universe_wsgi.ini 
If you can point me at an example of a tool that reads from the config, I'll try and put it together.
The best solution would be for Python to pick up the local $http_proxy env settings but I've never managed to get that working!
