OSC behind a firewall

[MichaelFreedman]

Is there any way to specify a proxy for OSC to use?

Thanks,

So ... the question is old, but I had the same problem and it takes me some time to fix it, so I describe what I did... because it seems that not a lot oft people fix it yet//

My problem was that I'm behind a https- proxy (and was not allowed do go around it) and in this case, the python-lib urllib2 is the main problem, because it can not deal with it.

So first you have to patch the urrlib2 (and the httplib) - the patch can be found here:
Issue 1424152: urllib/urllib2: HTTPS over (Squid) Proxy fails - Python tracker

Next, you have to comment out some lines in the osc-lib, in the conf.py file
(I found the file in /usr/lib/python2.6/osc/conf.py)
comment out lines 204 - 207

if 'https-proxy' in os.enviro:
del os.environ[https-proxy]
if 'HTTPS-PROXY' in os.enviro:
del os.environ[HTTPS-PROXY]

I did it that way and now everything works fine...
